To make charoset, prepare 1 cup of walnuts, 1 granny smith green apple, 2 tsp. cinnamon, 2 tsp. sugar, and red wine to moisten. Chop the nuts and apples to the consistency you want (a food processor can be used). Sprinkle with spices, and moisten with wine. The texture of the charoset should remind us of mortar.</span> </p> <p> <span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>6: Zeroa is a shankbone or neck of poultry, roasted</strong>.<br />Zeroa is a reminder of the "mighty arm of G-d" as the Bible describes it. It is also symbolic of the Paschal lamb offered as the Passover sacrifice in Temple days. Roast the shankbone in the oven for about 30 minutes. </span> </p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>7: Baytzah is a hard-boiled egg.</strong><br />Baytzah is symbolic of the regular festival sacrifice brought in the days of the Temple. Some authorities have interpreted this as a symbol of mourning for the loss of the two Temples (the first was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C.E., the second by the Romans in 70 C.E.). With the Temples destroyed, sacrifices could no longer be offered. The egg symbolized this loss and traditionally became the food of mourners.</span> </p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>8: Karpas is a vegetable. Parsley or a potato is generally used. </strong> Karpas is dipped in salt water to represent tears. The custom of serving karpas dates back to Jerusalem of the 1st and 2nd centuries when it was common to begin a formal meal by passing around vegetables as hors d’oeuvres. </span> </p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>9: Maror is bitter herbs. Horseradish root or prepared horseradish is generally used</strong>. Maror represents the bitter life of the Israelites during the time of their enslavement in Egypt. </span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong>10: Chazeret is a bitter vegetable. Celery or lettuce can be used. </strong> Those who do not put chazeret on their Seder Plate sometimes put a dish of salt water in its place.</span></p> <p><span style="font-size:100%;"><b>Passover Last Minute Tips:</b></span> </p> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">Prepare the Seder Plate long before the Seder meal so you are not pressured to get it ready at the last minute. </span></li> <li><span style="font-size:100%;">Allowing children to help you prepare the Seder Plate is a fun and effective way to teach them about the symbolism of the food and their connection to the Passover story. </span></li> </ul> <span style="font-size:100%;"> <p><a href="http://jewishencyclopedia.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-long-will-seder-take.html"><b>How long will the seder take?</b></a> Good question -- Plan on at least 3 hours for the seder and meal.

One may use either peeled and grated raw horseradish or Romaine lettuce, or both.<br /><br />The center of the plate represents the attribute of rachamim, mercy.<br /><br />At first glance it would seem more appropriate to place the Maror on the left side, signifying the attribute of gevurot, severity, for Maror recalls the severity of our suffering in Egypt.<br /><br />But, upon reflection, we realize that bitterness of spirit causes a manifestation of abundant mercy: the outpouring of an embittered soul, the intense bitterness one experiences when sensing how far removed one is from Divinity, arouses an abundance of mercy.<br /><br />From this perspective, then, the Maror itself signifies mercy.<br /><ul><li><a href="http://sederplates.blogspot.com/2009/09/passover-seder-plate.html">Seder Plates</a></li></ul><span style="font-size:100%;"><a href="http://www.milechai.com/" style="font-weight: bold;">Aharon's Jewish Books and Judaica</a><br />600 South Holly Street Suite 103<br />Denver, Colorado 80246<br />303-322-7345</span>Judaica and Jewish Jewelryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14521357390128149162noreply@blogger.com0
