Eat Green Vegetable. Now we’ll begin our discussion of the items on the seder plate. We’ll start with the parsley, which is a symbol of springtime and the miracle of nature's renewal. We dip the parsley into salt water before we eat it. The salt water reminds us of the salty tears shed by the oppressed Israelites. (Eat parsley.) The roasted egg is also a symbol of springtime and the renewal of life. Breaking the MatzoThis is the matzo. We eat it instead of bread during Passover. I will break the middle piece and hide half of it and the children will find it later. This is the bread of our affliction which our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. All who are hungry, let them come and eat. All who are needy, let them celebrate the Passover with us. Now we are here. Next year may we be in the land of Israel.
