shulchan orech 2 ssli

It’s traditional to begin the actual Seder meal with each person eating a hardboiled egg. A hard-boiled egg, symbolizing the korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and was then eaten as part of the meal on Seder night. The egg is a sign of mourning. On every festive occasion, we remember to mourn for the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem.

We are now ready to consume this passover lunch! at this time please put down the haggdahs, recline, and enjoy our festive meal.

In your opinion,what does the hard-boiled egg symbolize?
