Description
Here is a brief explanation of the six items on the seder plate. 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 vinegar and beets added) and/or romaine lettuce, for use as the "bitter herbs" (step #9). 4) "Charoset" - a paste made of apples, pears, nuts and wine. We'll be dipping the bitter herbs in this (steps 9 and 10). 5) "Karpas" - a bit of vegetable, such an onion or potato (used in step #3). 6) "Chazeret" -- more bitter herbs, for use in the matzah-maror sandwich (step #10).
