It is also a symbol of spring - the season in which Passover is always celebrated.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Zeroa</strong><br />\n <em>The Shankbone</em> is symbolic of the Paschal lamb offered as the Passover sacrifice in biblical times. Some communities use a chicken neck as a substitute. Vegetarian households may use beets.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Charoset</strong><br />\n <em>Apple, nuts, and spices</em> ground together and mixed with wine are symbolic of the mortar used by Hebrew slaves to build Egyptian structures. There are several variations in the recipe for charoset. The Mishna describes a mixture of fruits, nuts, and vinegar.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Maror</strong><br />\nBitter Herbs (usually horseradish) symbolize the bitterness of Egyptian slavery. The maror is often dipped in charoset to reduce its sharpness. Maror is used in the seder because of the commandment (in Numbers 9:11) to eat the paschal lamb \"with unleavened bread and bitter herbs\".</p>\n\n<p><strong>Chazeret</strong><br />\n <em>Lettuce</em> is often used in addition to the maroras a bitter herb. The authorities are divided on the requirement of chazeret,so not all communities use it. Since the commandment (in Numbers 9:11) to eat the paschal lamb \"with unleavened bread and bitter herbs\" uses the plural (\"bitter herbs\") most seder plates have a place for chazeret.</p>\n", "cliptype": "text", "clipsource": "", "featured": 0, "featuredIn": null, "is_public": 1, "is_published": 1, "media": { "image": null, "audio": null, "video": null }, "thumbnail": null, "clip_section": [ { "haggadah_section": "-- Cup #2 & Dayenu", "slug": "cup-2-amp-dayenu" } ], "likes": 0, "downloads": 233, "tags": [], "themes": [], "language": "0", "is_bookmarked": "0", "is_liked": 0, "meta_tags": { "title": "Passover Symbols | Passover haggadah by Marla Josephs", "description": "Our simple platform allows you to create a custom Passover Haggadah, with access to unique content contributed by our community.
