This beautiful Seder plate placed at the head of the table. In Hebrew, it is called “Ka’arah”. Before the Seder, Seder plate is arranged the by placing three whole matzot in a cover or special compartment under the plate. Then, six items on top are arranged, each one reminding of the Passover Story: Zeroah: A roasted bone This reminds of the peace offering that used to bring in the holy temple in Jerusalem. Beitzah: A hard-boiled egg This reminds of the festival offering which was brought to the holy temple on Pesach. Maror: Horseradish root These bitter herbs symbolize the harsh suffering and bitter times that people endured when they were slaves in Egypt. Charoset: A mixture of chopped apple, walnuts and red wine. Ground up together, charoset resembles bricks and mortar, reminding how hard people were forced to work when we were slaves in Egypt. Karpas: This can be a small slice of onion, boiled potato or sprigs of parsley. We dip the Karpas into salt water at the beginning of the Seder, representing the salty tears we cried when were slaves.
