Dipping the bitter herb in sweet charoset |   maror   |מָרוֹר 

In creating a holiday about the joy of freedom, we turn the story of our bitter history into a sweet celebration. We recognize this by dipping our bitter herbs into the sweet charoset. We don’t totally eradicate the taste of the bitter with the taste of the sweet… but we recognize that life is filled with both sweet and sour. 

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

We praise Everything and Everyone with love, as we eat bitter herbs.
