I chose this page because I personally connected with its' use of poetry as a tool to describe karpas' significance at the seder. Each line depicts the sorrows and woes our ancestors experienced through similes and figurative language, fully stitching the reason as to why we have saltwater, AKA "tears", at our Seder. The undertone of the poem is bitter, yet the words hitting the ears of the listener so soft lulling them so that they are able to understand the reason why we strangely must dip parsley into saltwater on this holiday: to put ourselves in our ancestors shoes and feel the sadness they felt when they were slaves.
