Slide 6
The six traditional items on the Seder Plate are as follows:

2. Maror and chazeret — Bitter herbs, symbolizing the bitterness and harshness of the slavery
which the the Hebrews endured in Egypt. Either horseradish or romaine lettuce may be eaten
in fulfillment of the mitzvah of eating bitter herbs during the Seder.
Charoset — A sweet, brown mixture representing the mortar used by the Hebrew slaves to
build the storehouses of Egypt. In Ashkenazi Jewish homes, charoset is traditionally made
from chopped nuts, grated apples, cinnamon, and sweet red wine. Sephardi recipes call for
dates and honey in addition to chopped nuts, cinnamon, and wine.
Karpas — A vegetable other than bitter herbs, which is dipped into salt water at the
beginning of the Seder. Parsley, celery or boiled potato is usually used. The dipping of a
simple vegetable into salt water (which represents tears) mirrors the pain felt by the Hebrew
slaves in Egypt. Usually in a Shabbat or holiday meal, the first thing to be eaten after the
kiddush over wine is bread. At the Seder table, however, the first thing to be eaten after the
kiddush is a vegetable. This leads immediately to the recital of the famous question, Ma
Nishtana — "Why is this night different from all other nights?" It also symbolizes the spring
time, because Jews celebrate Passover in the spring.
Z'roa — Also called Zeroah, it is special as it is the only element of meat on the Seder
Plate.[1] A roasted lamb or goat shankbone, chicken wing, or chicken neck; symbolizing the
korban Pesach (Pesach sacrifice), which was a lamb that was offered in the Temple in
Jerusalem, then roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night. Since the destruction of
the Temple, the z'roa serves as a visual reminder of the Pesach sacrifice; it is not eaten or
handled during the Seder. Vegetarians often substitute a beet, quoting Pesachim 114b as
justification.
Beitzah — A hard-boiled egg, symbolizing the korban chagigah (festival sacrifice) that was
offered in the Temple in Jerusalem and roasted and eaten as part of the meal on Seder night.
Although both the Pesach sacrifice and the chagigah were meat offerings, the chagigah is
commemorated by an egg, a symbol of mourning (as eggs are the first thing served to
mourners after a funeral), evoking the idea of mourning over the destruction of the Temple
and our inability to offer any kind of sacrifices in honor of the Pesach holiday. Since the
destruction of the Temple, the beitzah serves as a visual reminder of the chagigah; it is not
used during the formal part of the seder, but some people eat it with saltwater as the first
course of the meal.
Matzah Bread
The seventh symbolic item on the Seder table is a plate of three whole matzot, which are
stacked and separated from each other by cloths or napkins. The middle matzah will be broken
and half of it put aside for the afikoman. The top and other half of the middle matzot will be used
for the hamotzi (blessing over bread), and the bottom matzah will be used for the korech (Hillel
sandwich).

3. A bowl of salt water, which is used for the first "dipping" of the Seder, is not traditionally part of
the Seder Plate, but is placed on the table beside it. However, it sometimes is used as one of the
six items, omitting chazeret.When used, it is always placed in the center of the plate.

apparently there are 2 compartments Paradise and Hades (old
covenant) to free those who were under sin and received His
testimony. Lazarus and the rich man(Luke 16:19-31). Now there is
