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.
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 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!

Buying a Home Requires Many Difficult Decisions
Buying a Home Requires Many Difficult Decisions. Make Sure Your real estate agent is a Top Local Expert.
Your home or condominium is probably the biggest purchase your family will ever make, and it involves many decisions that go beyond simply choosing one you like.
Ask me anything; I will guide you through the entire process, from viewing homes and financing, to making sure the final contract is in your best interest:
- You will have full access to ALL homes available on the market, even listings not yet on the MLS, through my professional Florida real estate affiliations.
- My expert local knowledge of the area should be invaluable to you, not just in terms of real estate, but also schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.
- Every local real estate market absolutely has its own trends and opportunities. This can vary greatly, even one neighborhood to the next. It's my job to steer you into opportunities and out of traps.
- What is the true market value of the home you are interested in? Is it priced too high? Is it a bargain that you should jump on? I help home buyers make decisions like this every day, and I'll make sure that YOU get the best value for your money.
- Negotiating with sellers can be stressful. I will help you negotiate, so that the final contract includes your best possible terms and conditions.
- You should know absolutely everything about the property you are buying! You and I will view every home that you are interested in, together. And prior to closing I will make you fully aware of any and all inspections available to you.
- Have confidence when signing documents. Contracts are full of complicated terms and clauses that can greatly affect your future life in your new home. I will give you the full benefit of my real estate knowledge and experience.
Let me represent your best interests in your search for a new home in the area. While you can see a million homes on the web, actually buying your home is another matter entirely. Buyers beware!
Click on the link http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/buyer-info.asp and ask me any question about buying a home in South Florida. It's my job to help you! There's no obligation, and I promise to respond quickly...

What Can Make or Break the Sale
Get the Straight Facts About What Can Make or Break the Sale of Your Home. Choose Brad Arnowitz. Bradley E. Arnowitz & Associates, P.A. http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/ Top Real Estate Agent. www.Brad@ArnowitzProperties.com
Selling your home is one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. How much is it REALLY worth? How long will it take to sell? How do you handle buyers making undesirable offers?
Ask me ANY question about selling your home or property. Or request my FREE in-home presentation of how I would market your property. There's no obligation, and I promise to get back to you quickly...Visit us @ http://www.arnowitzproperties.com/seller-info.asp
As a top real estate agent with years of experience and a proven track record, it is my job to guide you through this complicated process, from beginning to end. I want you to get the maximum value for your home, within YOUR time frame. Here are just some of the things that I will do to market and sell your home:
- Buyers want to buy your home for as little as possible! Through detailed comparisons between your home and recently sold homes, and other properties currently on the market, together we can determine what your home is really worth in today's market. In the industry this is called a Comparative Market Analysis or CMA. I will do this for you, for free.
- Buyers have their own timelines, which might not be yours! I make sure they don't waste your time by qualifying them as to their real ability to afford your home.
- More buyers interested in your home means more money in your pocket when it is sold. My extensive marketing of your home assures you of maximum value. For example, this web site will market your property all across the web. It will appear on Yahoo Real Estate, Microsoft MSN HomeAdvisor, and other top national sites. I can place your home on my web site within a few minutes time!
- When we begin marketing your home, I will immediately notify all the buyers that I am helping find their ideal home. I'll also notify all the real estate agents in this area that I work with, who quickly tell their homebuyers. It is a powerful way to jump-start the sale of your home!
- You and a member of my team or I will walk through your home together. I will advise you how to present your property to maximize its selling price. Some improvements are worth it, and some are not! Be careful.
- Contracts are complicated, and intimidating. You don't want to go to a closing with some doubts. You will have the full benefit of my real estate experience and knowledge for a smooth and successful closing. I recommend that you do not sign on any dotted lines without asking me first.
- I will make sure you conform to any and all Florida statutory disclosure requirements. I will also inform you of any inspections that you should consider having done ahead of time to smooth the negotiating process with buyers, and to ensure a successful escrow and closing.
You pay no up front costs for my services! So you can bet that I will work hard to get your home sold, for as much as this market will possibly bear. I will also work within your time frame and your needs. For example, sometimes it can be hard to sell and move out of your current home, and buy and move into a new home, all at the same time! I can help smooth this out.
Call or email me. Ask for a free In-Home Presentation. I will come to your home or office, and present you a plan that details exactly how I will market your home. There is absolutely no obligation so don't let this opportunity pass. It is part of my job as a top real estate agent to offer you this service.

Fed: Now and Then
After viewing an interview on CNBC http://www.cnbc.com/ with former Fed Chairman, Alan Greenspan I have formed the following opinions:
Mr. Greenspan blames Wall Streets hedge and investment funds for their over exuberance, pushing lenders to be overly creative and to their breaking point.
Mr. Greenspan says "no better regulations than government regulations." Going on to say " consumers are shrinking, production is easing and we are in a recession."
Mr. Greenspans answer to how this effects the housing market is an interesting one. And, one that I tend to agree with:
Home markets have been priced in and opportunities may exist for savvy investors or second home purchasers in certain markets.
