There are three different Matzahs sitting here. They each represent different things.

1. The top represents the usual blessing over the bread (motzi), and tonight, instead of over bread or Challah, it’s over Matzah.

2. The bottom matzah is for the Hillel sandwich (Korech) which we’ll make later with matza, maror (bitter herbs), and charoset (a sweet and delicious food).

3. The middle matzah is what we work with now. It is split in half: one portion will be hidden by me for the “afikoman”, literally “dessert” in Greek.  After dinner, the kids will have to hunt for the afikomen in order to wrap up the meal… and win a prize.
