• Dip the vegetable in salt water. Why?
    • Salt water represents sadness. The tears of when we were slaves.
      • We shouldn’t forget the hardship & struggle of slavery.
      • This is the reason we want to be free in the 1st place.
    • The vegetable represents hope. The harvest of new growth & spring.
      • The seeds of hope are frozen underneath in winter.
      • Even though we were/are slaves, we can break forth to become free.

Take the karpas, dip it into salt-water, and recite the blessing.
