Passover Seder 101 #6 Breaking the Matzah and Hiding it For the Afikoman

Welcome to NJOP's new Passover Seder web series corresponding to the 15 steps of the seder. Featuring Rabbi Ephraim Z. Buchwald, Founder and Director or Jewish Treats' parent organization, the National Jewish Outreach Program, these 15 short webisodes will walk you through the essential elements of the Haggadah in a fun, uplifting manner to help enhance the seder you are hosting or the seder you are plan to attend. You will develop a keen understanding behind the rituals and customs underlying the text of the Haggadah and the seder experience. In video #6, Rabbi Buchwald talks about the step of the seder known as yachatz, the breaking of the matzah, that is later hidden as the afikoman. We have also just released Jewish Treats' "Guide to Preparing a Passover Seder." The Guide is a beautiful six page overview, designed to help with your seder preparations. It will concretize some of the key points you'll learn in these seder webisodes, help you actualize Rabbi Buchwald's recommendations and make your seder experience more meaningful.
