Each item has its own significance.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Maror and hazeret:</strong> <em>Mar</em> means “bitter,” and the <em>maror</em> is meant to remind us of the bitterness of slavery. The two main foods customarily used for <em>maror</em> are lettuce –especially Romaine lettuce (which eventually turns bitter and is commonly used as <em>maror</em> in Israel) – and grated horseradish, which is commonly used in many Jewish communities outside of Israel. Some seder plates have a spot for each of those items, and you can put horseradish in one of them and lettuce in the other.</p>\n\n<p>Horseradish appears to have become a popular choice for <em>maror</em> because it was easier to obtain than lettuce in Germany and Eastern Europe, but <em>hazeret</em>, a plant that scholars identify as lettuce (yet, confusingly, is the modern Hebrew term for horseradish), is the first of five plants listed in the Mishna as a food that can be used for <em>maror</em> ” (Haaretz).</p>\n\n<p><strong>Charoset:</strong> “The word is thought to come from <em>heres</em>, meaning “clay,” and the sweet reddish or brownish paste (the color depends, of course, on what you put in it) is meant to symbolize the clay the Israelite slaves used to make the bricks and mortar for their Egyptian overlords. The sweetness also offsets the taste of the bitter herbs, much as our freedom offsets the taste of remembered slavery. There are many different recipes for haroset, but the classic Ashkenazi version involves apples, walnuts and red wine, while many Sephardi recipes call for dates or other dried fruit” (Haaretz).</p>\n\n<p><strong>Karpas:</strong> A green vegetable, usually parsley, which we will dunk in salt water is a reminder of the bitterness of B'nai Yisrael’s slavery in Egypt and the tears which were shed.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Zeroa:</strong> “Although zeroa is often described as the shank bone of a lamb, other bones or a beet root work too – such as a roasted chicken wing, chicken leg or part of the neck. The emphasis is less on the exact body part and more on the commemoration of the Paschal sacrifice, which was the most important part of celebrating Passover in the time of the Temple. The zeroa is also seen as an allusion to the ‘outstretched arm’ (zeroa netuyah) with which the Bible says God took the Jews out of Egypt. Unlike most of the symbols of seder night, this one is for looking at, not eating” (Haaretz).</p>\n\n<p><strong>Beitzah:</strong> “The egg commemorates the Hagigah sacrifice that was eaten with the Paschal sacrifice on seder night during Temple times, though it was animals, not eggs, that were brought to the Temple. One reason commonly suggested for using an egg to represent the sacrifice is that eggs – whose circularity is seen as representing the cycle of life – are a typical mourner’s food, and thus remind us that we are mourning the destruction of the Temple, as a result of which we cannot bring the Passover sacrifices” (Haaretz).​</p>\n\n<p><strong>Matzah</strong></p>\n\n<p>Why do we eat matzah on Pesach? Because our ancestors didn’t have time to bake normal bread when they fled Egypt, and because HaShem commands us to eat matzah during Pesach.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Elijah’s Cup</strong></p>\n\n<p>A fifth cup of wine poured during the Seder is left untouched in honor of Elijah, who, according to tradition, will arrive one day as an unknown guest to herald the advent of the Messiah. At one point during the Seder dinner, the door is briefly opened to welcome Elijah. This commemorates the historical redemption from Egyptian bondage of the Jewish people and reminds us of our future redemption.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Miriam’s Cup</strong></p>\n\n<p>This is newer Passover tradition. The cup is filled with water and placed next to Elijah’s cup. Miriam was the sister of Moses. After the exodus, while wandering through the desert, legend says that a well of water followed Miriam. It was called ‘Miriam’s Well’. We seek to honor Miriam’s role and the spirit of all women, who nurture their families</p>\n\n<p>Pesach is a time of inclusion.</p>\n\n<p>On seder night, there are two moments where we metaphorically open our doors and invite others in. One is at the opening of the Magid portion of the seder, when we say, “All who are hungry come and eat.” Today especially this is an important message. We were once slaves; poor and hungry, we honor our redemption by sharing what we have with others.</p>\n\n<p>The other, is when we open the door for Elijah the Prophet as a statement of faith, a statement that although we are a free people, our redemption is not yet complete, but we believe it will come.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Introduction", "slug": "introduction" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 256, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Seder Plate | Passover haggadah by Jacqueline", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.

The Tur, following Rashbam [Pesachim 114a s.v ad shema...", "user_image": "", "user_image_original": "", "body": "<p>The commentators offer various reasons for the <em>mitzvah </em>of <em>karpas</em>. The Tur, following Rashbam [Pesachim 114a <em>s.v ad shemagiah</em>], famously explains that the <em>karpas </em>is meant to elicit questions from the children, as it was unusual to dip anything prior to the actual meal [Tur, O.C. 473]. The Bach, however, offers a different approach towards <em>karpas</em>. He suggests that perhaps the custom of <em>karpas </em>is to give us the opportunity to eat something, since the meal is s ll far off, and we should not have to go through the en re <em>Maggid </em>narrative without consuming any food [Bach, O.C. 473 <em>s.v v’lokeiach yerakot</em>].</p>\n\n<p>At first glance, the Bach’s approach seems so prosaically pragma c that the ritual seems in danger of losing its religious significance. However, his suggestion is actually quite profound, in that it highlights Judaism’s sensitivity to the needs of human beings even in a context, such as the seder night, in which we might expect to ignore our physical needs in favor of fulfilling the key religious duty of recalling our national redemption. However, rather than deny the necessity of food or the impact of hunger on our physical and emotional psyche, the Bach posits that the physical reality of human hunger was in fact the primary impetus for the Rabbis to institute the custom of <em>karpas</em>.</p>\n\n<p>This has implications for Judaism at large. Judaism does not view human suffering and the inability to access necessary material needs as an expression of religious worship; Judaism is a religion that responds and affirms our humanity. This is highlighted in the way that our own religious rituals, such as <em>karpas</em>, reflect these basic needs. Rather than claim that poverty or injustice are the means to reach greater spiritual heights, Judaism constantly and consistently emphasizes our imperative to ameliorate suffering, whether our own or that of our fellow human beings.</p>\n\n<p>We are given the ritual of <em>Karpas </em>lest we suffer for a few hours until it is me to eat our celebratory meal.

There are indeed many ways to be included among the <em>kol ditzrich</em>. The invitation to “all who are in need” is not <em>yeitei ve-yeichol</em>, to eat with us; but rather, it is to spend the Pesah with us, <em>yeitei ve-yifsach</em>, to celebrate with us. It is an invitation addressed to unfortunate and lonely people. ey might be millionaires; it is completely irrelevant. Whoever is in need should come and celebrate. <em>Ha Lahma Anya </em> is the renewal of a pledge of solidarity among the Jewish people...It is a proclamation that we are one people and we are ready to help each other. [ <em> e Seder Night: An Exalted Evening. </em> New Jersey: Ktav, 2009, p. 27]</p>\n\n<p>When understood in this way, <em>Ha Lachma Anya </em> transforms the seder into a ritual of social solidarity. Of course, praise, gratitude, and the reenactment of freedom are predominant themes of the seder, but the fostering of solidarity is an important undercurrent. In Rav Soloveitchik’s words, “without manifesting and demonstrating the sense of solidarity, responsibility, unity, and readiness to share and participate, the whole <em>seder </em> becomes meaningless” ( <em>ibid. </em> p. 28).</p>\n\n<p>Another term for the “readiness to share and participate” is social capital. In his groundbreaking book, <em>Bowling Alone: The Collapse and Revival of American Community </em> (New York: Simon &amp; Schuster, 2000), Harvard professor Robert Putnam presented a bleak picture of contemporary American life. The title comes from Putnam’s observation that, although bowling remains a popular past time, fewer Americans now bowl on teams. Instead of bowling with friends, as was once common, Americans now go “bowling alone.” Over the past 25 years, there has been a 35% decline in “having friends over,” a 58% drop in “attending club meetings,” and a 43% drop in family dinners (h p://bowlingalone.com). Putnam argues that aside from any direct negative implications of those statistics, they mark a decline in social capital, “the very fabric of our connections with each other.”</p>\n\n<p>Pesach is a time particularly appropriate for fostering these ties of social solidarity because there is a connection between matzah itselfand social solidarity. This connection is explained by in the Vilna Gaon as emerging from the passive voice adopted by the Torah to describe the <em>mitzvah </em> to eat <em>matzah </em> (“ <em>matzot </em> shall be eaten for seven days”). In the words of Rabbi Yonason Sacks [ <em>Hagaddah Chazon L’Yomim, </em> Feldheim, 2009, p. 107], “by formulating the imperative in the passive voice, the Torah implies that the obligation of matzah is not simply to eat matzah, but rather to ensure that matzah is eaten by everyone.” Thus, when reciting <em>Ha Lachma Anya, </em> we are making a declaration of social solidarity centered upon a substance, <em>matzah</em>, whose very consumption mandates social consciousness.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "RABBI DAVID WOLKENFELD", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "Maggid - Beginning", "slug": "maggid-beginning" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 246, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": " Utzedek Supplement | Passover haggadah by Jacqueline", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
