Afikoman
Now is the time you all have been waiting for, the fated Afikoman search. But before we release you to run amok, why do we say the afikoman is so sweet? After this meal of chocolate and candies, shouldn't we have replaced the afikoman with something other than matzah?
No, we want our seder to conclude with the taste of slavery/freedom in our mouths. To remember what Passover is about and not forget about the people that came before us. This explains eating the matzah, but not why we hide it. We hide the larger piece of the broken matzah to signify that there is so much for us to know. As the next generation, we are tasked with discovering the Hidden and Mysterious, to continue to gather information and fight injustice, to find the proverbial Afikoman over and over in pursuit of Tikkun Olam.
