Remembering the bitterness of our experience in Egypt and the bitterness we may still feel today, we eat horseradish or another intensely-flavored herb. Feel free to share a space of bitterness you're bringing to the table today. Speaking our bitterness helps release it like the tears we cry when eating the horseradish. 

Baruch Atah Adonai, Eloheinu Ruach ha-olam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvotav v’tzivanu al achilat maror.

Blessed are You, Spirit of the universe who commands us to eat bitter herbs.
