The shankbone of a lamb is a traditional element of the Seder ritual. It belongs on the table as a symbol of the Passover sacrifices that Jews have not made since the year 70, when the Roman army destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem.

What was the shank of lamb used for in the Passover?

The shank bone, typically displayed on the seder plate during Pesach or Passover, symbolized the sacrificial lamb. The blood from the lamb was supposedly used to paint the door and window frames of Jewish households to identify them to the angel of death when it slew the firstborn sons of the Egyptians, so that it would "pass over" those houses and spare the Jewish children.


Why does the Seder meal have a bone of lamb and a chicken neck in it?

The Seder meal uses either a lamb bone or a turkey/chicken neck to represent the Paschal (lamb) sacrifice. The Israelites offered a lamb as a sacrifice at the first Passover. They put the blood of this lamb on their doorways as a signal for the Angel of Death to "Pass-Over" their houses and not kill their firstborn sons. All the other firstborn sons of Egypt died in the tenth and final plague. Modern Passover meals can use a chicken or turkey neck in place of the lamb bone since the Holy Temple is unavailable and they therefore want to use something dissimilar to the sacrificial lamb, yet still use a bone to remind them of the sacrifice.
