Yachatz- Breaking of the Matzah
Before us we have three chocolate matzot. We now break the middle matzah and conceal the bigger half, this is called the Afikoman (dessert).
During the seder the Afikoman is hidden, at the end of the seder all the children look for the Afikomen, the child that finds the Afikoman at the end of the night gets a prize!
Matzah is the bread of affliction that our forefathers ate in the land of Egypt. Say Together:
This is the bread of affliction, which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt.
Let all who are hungry come and eat. Let all those who are needy let them come and celebrate Passover. Now we are here, next year may we be in Israel. Now we are slaves, next year may we all be free.
