Passover - Seder Plate


I thought it would be a nice idea to provide my friends and clients alike with an overview of the Seder Plate this Passover.

The Seder Plate:

The Seder Plate (Ka'arah) includes most of the ingredients that go into the making of the Seder. Its three matazahs and the six other items are arranged in a formation dictated by their significance and relationship vis-a-vis each other.
Here's how you set it up:
On top of a large plate, tray or cloth place three whole matzahs, one on top of the other.
Cover the matzahs with a cloth or tray.

On top, position the following six items as pictured above right:
1) "Zeroa" - a roasted chicken bone with most of the meat removed. This will represent the Passover offering. It will not be eaten.
2) "Beitzah" - a hard-boiled egg, representing the festival offering.
3) "Maror" - grated horseradish (just the horseradish -- not the red stuff that has vinager and beets added) and/or romaine lettuce, for use as the "bitter herbs".
4) "Charoset" - a paste made of apples, pears, nuts and wine. We'll be dipping the bitter herbs in this.
5) "Karpas" - a bit of vegetable, such an onion or potato.
6) "Chazeret" -- more bitter herbs, for use in the matzah-maror sandwich.

We'll also need a wine cup or goblet for each participant, and plenty of wine!
And a dish of salt water (in which to dip the Karpas).

Wishing you a Happy Passover!
