Breaking the Matzah

We have drunk the wine of the Passover celebration. To remind us of our attachment to the traditions of our culture we go back out into the world. At the end of our festival meal, we will have a final taste of matzah - our symbol of suffering and liberation.

I am breaking this matzah into two pieces. One half I will return to the table.

The other half I will wrap and save until the end of the meal. This piece is called the 'Afikoman'

Without it the seder cannot end.
