If you cannot find it, use a Sauternes or a late-harvest Riesling.

Taiglach (little pieces of fried dough dredged in honey) are eaten for celebratory occasions like Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, Simchat Torah, Chanukah, Purim, weddings, and births.

It is a spectacular centerpiece with its clusters of dough and nuts, and is totally addictive.
