While not part of any specific religious rite in Judaism, blini stuffed with a cheese filling and then fried in oil are served on holidays such as Chanukah (as oil played a pivotal role in the miracle of the Chanukah story) and Shavuot (when dairy dishes are traditionally served within the Ashkenazi minhag).
Selvom det ikke er en del af en specifik religiøs ritus i jødedommen, blintzes, der er fyldt med en ost påfyldning og derefter stegt i olie bliver serveret på ferie, såsom Chanukah (som olie spillet en central rolle i det mirakel af Chanukah historie) og Shavuot (når mejeriet retter serveres traditionelt inden for Ashkenaziminhag ).
