Korech is the 10th step in the seder. It's a sandwich with Matzah and maror. You may ask why we would combine them both if we have eaten matzah and maror before. Matzah and maror represent two different things. Matzah is a symbol of freedom and our strengths and since Maror is very bitter, it can symbolize our weaknesses. We all have things that we are really good at and things that we still have difficulty with. Our weaknesses aren’t extremely bad, they can be used in a positive direction. We eat matzah to identify what our strengths are and we eat maror to identify what our weaknesses are to know where we could grow and fix things. We put them together so the strong parts of who we are can inspire and help the weak parts of ourselves. This will elevate and guide us so every part of us can be in freedom. This is why we combine both maror and matzah together.
