It was on Passover three thounsand years ago at midnight, under the first full moon of spring, that the Israelites escape from Egyptian slavery. During the week-long holiday, whish falls on the fifteenth of Nisan (late March to mid-April). Jews remember the power and importance of this event by eating special foods linked to the bitterness of slavery and the sweetness of freedom The Seder Plate In front of the leader's place is a large ornate plate that displays five important symbols of Passover. First there are small white bits of root, which look deceptively mild. These are maror, or bitter herbs, eaten to remember the bitterness of Egyptian bondage, The power of the herb, which is often horseradish, is astounding. Romaine lettuce is also used as maror, because at first it tastes sweet, and then it turns bitter. In the beginning, the Israeliutes' life in Egypt was sweet, and then it turned bitter. The next object on the plate is a brownish, unappetizing looking mixture called haroset. This mixture is also deceptive because it is delicious. It is supposed to look like the mortar that the Israelites used to build the cities of Pithom and Raamses. Made of apples, nuts, cinnamon, and wine, its sweetness represents the promise of a better world. The mixture is also a reminder of the apples trees under which Israelite women bore their children, away from the eyes of the Egyptians. The shank bone of a lamb, called the z'roah, lies beside the haroset. This symbolized the lamb eaten in haste when the Israelites fleg Egypt. The shank bone is used because "the Lord, our God, brought us forth with a strong hand and outstretched arm," The bone is a reminder of God's arm. Next to the shank bone is a roasted egg, called the beitzah. It is a symbol of the animal sacrifice that was brought to the Temple for each festival. The eggs is also a symbol of life. One midrash, or legend, draws a connection between the egg and the Jews. Just as an egg get harder as it cooks, so the Jewish people grew harder the more tyrants throughout history tried to weaken them. Last there is Karpas, fresh greens that are usually parsley, celery, or lettuce. Karpas, which is a Greek word meaning hors d" oeuvre, is a symbol of new life in nature and the new life for the Jewish people when they were freed from bondage, The Karpas is dipped in salt water, which represents the tears.
