Maror

Dipping the bitter herb in salt water |  maror   |מָרוֹר   

We dip the parsley in salt water, a joining of two symbols: of pain and of rebirth. 

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יְיָ, אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, אֲשֶׁר קִדְּשָֽׁנוּ בְּמִצְוֹתָיו וְצִוָּֽנוּ עַל אֲכִילַת מרוֹר

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

We praise God, Ruler of the world, who made us holy through obligations, commanding us to eat bitter herbs.
