Korech: Hillel's Sandwich
Preserving a bond with the observance of our ancestors, we follow a practice of Hillel, from the time when the Temple stood. He combined the matzo and maror and ate them together, so that he might observe the precept handed down to him, exactly as his father before him, as it is said “They shall eat it with the matzo and bitter herbs”
Together they shall be: the matzo of freedom, the maror of slavery.
For in the time of freedom there is knowledge of servitude.
And in the time of bondage, the hope of redemption.
(According to an ancient custom, maror and haroset are now eaten between two pieces of matzo.)
