Seder Law & Order, Part 2
Breaking Matzah, learn how to do it ‘by the book’, and understand why, on this most magical of nights, it’s far more than edible wafer. We paradoxically present “poor man’s bread” while placing emphasis on richness and luxury; creating a unique conundrum in observance of the double-breaded manna memorial. In the end, it’s a unique and sacred stuffing of your face that provides halachic relief. Bitter herbs and the unusual double dipping, offer opportunity to taste the pain of slavery and feel the pyramids of bricks and mortar!
