Maror
Maror
Participant:
Having said Motzi, we continue our meal. The strange appetizer awaits us: maror, the bitter vegetable, a sharp reminder that the matzah of freedom often needs roots of bitterness from which to sprout.
Many of us here have personally known the bitterness of pain, of disappointment, of loss. If we have been fortunate, we have learned from our pain, matured through our disappointment, compensated for our loss through a new awareness of our own strength. Bitterness we have learned, can be transformed into a blessing – and that is why we offer a blessing when we eat the bitter herb.
Thank you, God, for the understanding and compassion that can be released when eat the fruit of bitterness.
