Karpas

Karpas is the third step in our Passover Seder, where we dip parsley into saltwater.

.

The parsley symbolizes life's renewal and spring, while the saltwater represents the tears shed during the Israelites' enslavement. Karpas highlights the contrasts in the Passover story, connecting us with the narrative of suffering and hope for freedom.

.

Blessed are you, Sovereign of the Universe, who brings forth the fruit of the earth.
