Instruction: Uncover the Matzah
Reader 1: Rabban Gamliel used to say: All who have left out the following three things concerning the observance of Passover have not fulfilled the complete rite of the celebration:
The Paschal lamb – Pesach
Unleavened bread – Matzah
And Bitter herbs – Maror
Reader 2: Pesach, the Passover lamb which our predecessors ate in the time of the Temple: what purpose does it serve here?
- It is to inspire us to teach and learn about the Exodus which relates a story of how in the midst of slaughter, the Israelites are passed over and are saved from death.
Reader 3: Matzah, this flat bread that we eat: what purpose does it serve here?
- It is to inspire us to retell the Exodus story that portrays the Israelites leaving so quickly that they could not wait for their journey’s bread to rise.
Reader 4: Maror, these bitter herbs that we eat: what purpose do they serve here?
- It is to inspire us to retell the Exodus story which portrays the bitterness of oppression, of hard labor imposed upon them with cruelty.
Reader 5: We are taught to learn from this story and apply it in every age. It is our obligation to save others as well as ourselves from violence; we must do so without hesitation; and we must learn how to deliver the sweetness of freedom to everyone.
