Now we will do the first food ritual, which is the dipping and eating of the karpas. We remember the tears of the slaves in Egypt, and in this moment we can also remind ourselves of the tears of so many who are still slaves, oppressed, and suffering today. 

Everyone take a piece of celery, dip it in the saltwater, don't eat it yet. 

Baruch atah A-donay, Elo-heinu Melech Ha’Olam borei pri ha-adamah.

Blessed are You, L-rd our G‑d, King of the universe who creates the fruit of the earth.​

Eat!
