Eating a sandwich of matzah and bitter herb |  koreich  | כּוֹרֵךְ - Hillel Sandwich

Reader

When the Temple stood in Jerusalem, the biggest ritual of them all was eating the lamb offered as the Pesach or Passover sacrifice. The great sage Hillel would put the meat in a sandwich made of matzah, along with some of the bitter herbs – we honor this custom by eating a sandwich of the remaining matzah and bitter herbs. Some people will also include charoset in the sandwich to remind us that G-d’s kindness helped relieve the bitterness of slavery.
