Pesach III.

This week we have been focussing on Pesach customs and traditions. 

Ariella makes a Seder Plate in her Haggada.

We learned about all the things on the Seder plate and what they symbolize.

We even have a song that we sang to help us remember:

There are six things that we prepare

To put on the Seder Plate on the night of the Seder

Roasted Chicken and the egg are the first of them

To remind us of Karbonos that we brought to Hashem

In the middle is the Maror, a bitter vegetable

To remind us of the Mitzriyim who made us miserable

On the right side is Charoses, to remind us of the mortar

On the left side is the Karpas we dip in salt water

On the bottom is the lettuce, and that's what we prepare

To put on the Keara on the night of the Seder.

We went through the 15 steps of the Seder: 

Here's another song we learned:

Kadesh we take a sip 

Of wine to our lip 

Urchatz we wash our hands 

for the Karpas which we dip 

Yachatz we now divide 

and put half aside 

of the middle matzo  

the afikomen which we'll hide 

Magid tells the story 

and once more we 

tell our sons the nes to repeat 

Wash your hands 

Rochtza demands 

for motzi matzo  

the matzo which we eat 

Moror is bitter greens 

Korech sandwiched between 

Shulchan orech the yom tov meal 

we lick our soup bowls clean 

Tzofun's not far behind 

Afikomun we find 

Berach we bentch in Halel mention  

Hashem who is kind 

Nirtzah is our task to  

Ask Hashem to 

Be pleased with the Mitzvos we have done 

Now you can start to  

Say by heart 

the Mitzvos of the seder  

Beginning from step one
