What do you eat in the Seder Meal?
The Passover Hagaddah (or Story) states that “Whoever does not say these three things has not fulfilled his obligation: Pesach, Matzah, Maror.” Pesach is the pascal lamb offering that is no longer brought as the Temple in Jerusalem no longer stands. In the days of the Temple, thousands of lambs were slaughtered on the eve of Passover to be eaten that night along with the matzah and the maror, the bitter herb (traditionally, romaine lettuce or horseraddish). Today we eat only the matzah and maror.
