Seder Leader: Yachatz

Seder leader show everyone the three matzot placed in a cloth.

Seder Leader: This is the bread of suffering which our fathers ate in the land of Egypt. All who are hungry--let them come and eat. All who are needy--let them come and celebrate the Passover with us.

Seder Leader breaks the middle matzah. Take the large piece, the afikomen, and wrap it carefully in a linen cover like a burial shroud.

Look at the matzah, and see that it is striped.

By His stripes we are healed.

Look at the matzah, and see that it is pierced.

They shall look upon me whom they've pierced.

Look at the matzah, and see that it is pure (without leaven).

His body was without sin.

Seder Leader please hide the Afikomen.

Please fill your cups for the Second cup of the Seder, the "Cup of Deliverance."
