At this point, you may think to yourself, "IM GONNA BE FREAKIN STARVING!" Knowing this from past seders, you may feel the need to munch down on as much Carpas as humanly possible.

So we push off our appetizer, and wash our hands to demonstrate that we are not slaves to our impulsive eating habits.
