Maror is the ninth step of the Passover Seder and involves the consumption of bitter herbs, such as horseradish or romaine lettuce.

.

In the Maror step, we are reminded of the harsh and bitter conditions the Israelites experienced during their enslavement in Egypt. By eating the maror, we acknowledge the suffering and oppression of our ancestors and reflect on the ongoing struggles for justice and equality in the world. This step serves as a reminder of the challenges and obstacles on the path to freedom and inspires us to work towards a more compassionate and just society.

.

Blessed are You, Sovereign of the Universe, who has made us holy with your commandments and instructed us to eat bitter herbs (marror).
