In the days of the Temple, Hillel, the head of the Sanhedrin, used combine matzah, a slice of paschal lamb, and a bitter herb. We no longer sacrifice and eat the lamb, so now the Passover sandwich is only matzah, charoset, and a bitter herb.

Eating the sandwich tonight reminds us of the way life combines moments of suffering (maror) and of relief (matza), enslavement and freedom.
