Thought you might like my Israeli aunt's reply (sent a link to her):
Sufganiyot are jelly-filled doughnuts - they don't have a hole, just round fried doughnuts that afterwards are injected with jelly, or some other filling of your choice. I don't buy the story that they developed as an antithesis to latkes (we still have latkes AND sufganiyot!), but they are popular - mostly store-bought these days - and wildly unhealthy!!
Wednesday I had latkes at work (the cook made them for the staff), then made them at home that night (plain potato, potato/sweet potato and potato/apple) and last night had some more at a friends... I don't particularly like the sufganiyot (American-style doughnuts are also catching on here, glazed, etc.) but have to have one for "tradition!!"
