Symbols And Customs

Pesach means the Passover. The holiday is called “passover" as a remembrance of the final miracle in Egypt, when the Almighty destroyed every first-born among the Egyptians but passed over the homes of the Israelites. The lamb that the Israelites used to bring as a special offering in honor of the festival was known as the Pesach or paschal lamb. SEDEK The word "Seder" means “order.” for there is a certain order we follow in the celebration of Passover around the table. Some of the practices are very ancient, dating back to the days of the Temple. MATZAH It is from the word that Pesach is called Chag Ha-Matzos. the “Feast of Unleavened Bread.” When the Israelites were hurrying out of

Egypt they had to snatch up bread they were baking before it was leavened. Once matzos were baked in the home. But this became very difficult, and during the Middle Ages most Jewish communities had their matzo bakeries To keep the matzo from rising while being baked, wooden combs or wheels were run over it. There are three special matzos on the Seder table, each wrapped separately and placed atop one another on a plate. The larger half of the middle matzo is put waway to be used as afikoman. AFIKOMAN The afikoman serves as dessert at the end of the meal. It takes the place of the Pesach lamb which was eaten last at the Seder so that its taste might linger on the palate. It is customary for children to play a game by hiding the afikoman and

demanding a prize for its return SHANKBONE On the right-hand side of the Seder plate there is a roasted shankbone. This is a symbol of the Paschal lamb which was sacrificed in the Temple. FOUK CUPS OF WINE Each member of the family partakes of four cups of wine. The first cup is used for the Kiddush The second is the cup of rejoicing, over which the first half of Hallel and the "blessing of redemption" is recited. The third cup is usually drunk in connection with the grace, which is recited at the end of the meal. The fourth cup is used when the second half of the Hallel and the prayers of thanksgiving are

recited. MOROK

On the Seder plate we also find moror or bitter herbs. This is to remind us of the bitterness of

slavery.

CHAROSES The charoses, a sweet mixture of apples, almonds, cinnamon and wine, also recalls the bitterness of slavery for it symbolizes the mortar made under the lash of the Egyptian taskmasters. The pleasant taste of the charoses, however, is a symbol of God’s kindness, which made slavery easier

to bear.

ROASTED EGG Some say the roasted egg is a token of grief for the destruction of the Temple. Others believe that the egg is merely associated with the spring season of the year, when Pesach is celebrated. CUP OF ELIJAH The prophet Elijah is the hero of many beautiful legends. The Prophets promised that Elijah would announce the coming of the Messiah and cause peace and freedom to reign everywhere. In his honor, a handsome goblet of (Continued On Page 14)
