We dip karpas, a green that can be represented by several items, into saltwater to represent the tears and suffereing of our Jewish ancestors in Mitzrayim, the narrow place. This year, the saltwater represents other forms of suffering, including the Black lives lost to police brutality and the trans* lives lost to intolerance.

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu melech ha’olam, borei p’ri ha’adamah.
