Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, who has sanctified us with Your commandments, and commanded us concerning the eating of matzah.

Blessing over the bitter herbs dipped in Charoseth
Blessed are You, Adonai our God, Sovereign of the universe, who has sanctified us with Your commandments, and commanded us concerning the eating of the bitter herbs.

The maror is eaten.

Korech- Matzah and Charoset Sandwich
To remind us of the Temple we do as Hillel did in Temple times; he combined matzah and maror in a sandwich and ate them together, to fulfill what is written in the Torah: “They shall eat it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs.”

Each person makes a sandwich using two pieces of matzah with maror and charoset, a mixture of nuts, fruit, wine and spices that symbolizes the mortar used by the Jewish people to make bricks while enslaved in Egypt.  This is done in commemoration of an enactment made by the great sage Hillel, who lived in the time of the Second Temple, to eat that Passover sacrifice together with matzah and maror in a sandwich.

The Meal is Served!
