Answer 2

A Seder Plate is used for foods that are symbolic, during the Jewish ritual feast known as Passover Seder. The traditional foods on a Seder Plate are as follows: Maror and Chazeret which are bitter herbs. Charoset which is usually made from nuts. Karpas which is a vegetable other than bitter herbs. Z'roa which is meat, whether Lamb, Goat, Chicken or otherwise. Finally there is Beitzah which is a roasted hard boiled egg.

Answer 3

At a Passover seder, you have a seder plate with six different foods containing a symbolic meaning. Each item symbolizes an event in the exodus of the Jews from Egypt.

Maror- Bitter herbs, or horseradish , symbolizes the harsh & cruel way the Jewish slaves were treated by the Egyptians.

Charoset- A sweet, brown, chunky mixture of chopped apple, walnuts, honey, cinnamon, & red wine [ optional ] This represents the mortar that the slaves used to build storehouses.

Karpas- Usually parsley or celery, used to dip into salt water, which reflects the Jewish slaves' pain; the salt water being their tears, & the bland vegetable as the simple foods the Jew's could eat.

Z'Roa- A roasted lamb shankbone, representing the peace offering in Jerusalem.

Beitzah- A hard-boiled egg, symbolizing the festival sacrifice that was offered in the temple of Jerusalem.

Also, three whole pieces of matzot are put in a separate dish, but on the seder table. The middle matzah is to be broken in half & one half is put into an envelope & hidden & the youngest people at the seder have to find it. This is called afikoman.

Answer 4

Maror, or other bitter herbs, symbolise the bitterness of the Hebrews' enslavement in Egypt. Charoset, a sweet mixture of nuts and fruit, represents the mortar which was used by the Hebrews to build storehouses during enslavement. Karpas, a vegetable such as parsely, which is dipped in salt water or vinegar to represent the tears shed by the Hebrews during slavery (an alternative explanation is that karpas symbolises Joseph's tunic which was dipped in blood by his brothers to convince their father that he had been killed by wild beasts, as in the Torah/Old Testament story). Z'roa, a roasted lamb's shankbone, symbolises the korban Pesach (Passover sacrifice) that took place in the Temple in Jerusalem while it still stood. Beitzah, a roasted egg, symbolises the korban chagigah Temple sacrifice (an alternative is that the ovoid shape of the egg represents the cyclical nature of life and the Universe).

Answer 5

Maatzah (unleavened thin hard-bread), bitter herbs, parsley, wine and haroset (see below). Salt water, a roasted egg, and a bit of roasted meat are also on the table.

Here is the symbolism of the items on the Seder plate:

The bitter herbs (maror) symbolize the harsh slavery which the Israelites suffered in Egypt. Either horseradish or romaine lettuce is traditionally used for maror.

Charoset - A sweet mixture representing the mortar used by the Jewish slaves to build the storehouses of Egypt. In Ashkenazi Jewish homes, charoset is traditionally made from chopped nuts, grated apples, cinnamon, and sweet red wine.

Karpas - A vegetable other than bitter herbs, traditionally parsley, which is dipped into salt water at the beginning of the Seder. The dipping of a simple vegetable into salt water (which represents tears) recalls the pain felt by the Jewish slaves in Egypt.

Beitzah - A hard-boiled egg, symbolizing the korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night. Although both the Pesach sacrifice and the chagigah were meat offerings, the chagigah is commemorated by an egg, a symbol of mourning.

Z'roa - A roasted lamb or goat shank-bone, chicken wing, or chicken neck; symbolizing the korban Pesach (Pesach sacrifice), which was a lamb that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem, then roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.

During all the days of Passover, matzah (unleavened bread) is eaten; while leavened foods such as bread, cake, cookies, cereal and pasta are forbidden. Certain prayers are added in the synagogue services, and the Torah is read each day.

Pesach (Passover) is important to us since in it we relive the Exodus from Egypt and our birth as a nation, both of which were preparations for receiving the Torah from God.

The highlight of Passover is the Seder meal. This meal is of great importance in Judaism. It is a 3325-year old continuous tradition that began on the night of the Exodus from Egypt (see Exodus chapter 12), and is fully detailed in our ancient Oral Traditions (Talmud, chapter Arvei Pesachim).

The Seder meal is one of those occasions, like Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, that Jews all over the world, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike, observe in common. During the Seder, we keep the essential mitzva and customs of handing Jewish traditions down to the next generation, with the traditional Seder foods and the ceremony of reading the Passover Haggadah which retells the events of the Exodus.
