The Three Matzos and the Six Simonim on the Seder Plate

foreign we shall lay down six items we will discuss the first what is the meaning of the tree matured that we shall set on the table and then each one of the six items that will lay down on the on the method for the Seder and then we'll discuss the changes over the generations what species exactly was used for each one of the six items that are set on the table in top of the massage let us start with the method every average but when we sit down to the table we set on the table two hello only two when it comes to the light of pesach we laid down three three months old why is it that we are adding one Mata to the left hand that we have ever shared so the reason is because there is a posic in the Hamish a that we eat this night to have a love method only what means Oni has two meanings in Hebrew and the gamara explains that there is two items that are supposed to be in the matzah that we lay down on the table for the night of PESA one is only means response means he is responding which means the story of the Haggadah of The Exodus of Egypt that we tell this night why is this called response because it says in the hummus that we are supposed to say the story as a response to the question of the children the ayaki shall have he'll tell them the whole story when he will ask you you'll tell him so therefore these Haggadah is called will tell the story we shouldn't just tell the story we should have the mother and the table while we we tell the story the second meaning of only means the head of the pool and he means a poor man the Yamaha explains that here it means that a Ani a poor man doesn't have the means to have a whole breath he just has a piece of a bread and the same thing the night of Professor when we tell the story of The Exodus of the Egypt who should have on the table a piece of a matter a Pusa which means in addition to the Lata mishna that we have every Shabbat there should be another one so we have two and a half method on the table while we tell the story of your therapy trying while we say the hagada it is explaining it's not honorable to lay down on the tablet and say on it kiddish so therefore we shall lay down three method on the tables oh well right when we are ready for the children to ask the four questions and we are going to expand we shall break off the middle a half far away for later in the end of the meal we'll eat gaffigoma and on the table will stay only one half which is and as we say that as we break it and we put it we sing hey here is the bread of response and the bread of the pool is in aramic in Hebrew in the toride says which is the same thing so write as we break them at sign to two we say that and right after that comes the questions of the children and our response after we finish dagada who's sitting down for the meal so obvious we have here two minutes what what is and we say on that before we eat the same thing here we are going to say firsti and the two full method all right after this but how we say another which means that now we are going to eat the middle one the black one the peace and as we say that we break off a piece of the middle Mata to break off a piece of them the full one we eat both together honey this is why while we say the story of The Exodus of Egypt we're having on the table T four ones and one piece of then it says in the hagada in top of this method we shall have six items items that tell us the story of suffering of the Jewish Nation slavery in Egypt and the story of the Miracles Hashem made to get them out of Egypt The Exodus of the Jewish Nations why we need this six items while we tell the story of the Haggadah there is another in the humash that says in that day that night of pesach Daniel children the story of Exodus of Egypt foreign for this he did it he wanted us to sit and tell the story not to forget the whole story of our slavery in Egypt and The Exodus that Hashem took us out that's the simple meaning of the possible that he wants us to tell the story but he says for this why for this tell the story without for this it shows that Hashem wants us to have on the table those items that remind us of the suffering and remind us of The Exodus so therefore said that we shall have in top of the Mata these six idols we will go from item to item to see what he chose us of the suffering in Egypt and of The Exodus of Egypt and how each one of the items was done over the generations the first item is on the top right called Draw to remind us of the command PESA sacrifice of pizza before we came out from Egypt I Hashem told Moshe to tell the Jewish Nation they should each one each family should do a sacrifice a common pleasure it all up to them five days earlier to prepare a lamb a young lamb to make a sacrifice out of it and the blood of it to put on the doors so when time comes when the last one of the ten I got that the Purim died he will wreck Hashem will recognize the dose of the Jewish people and then at night eat Edge family should eat it roast it and the same thing it says in the Torah every year when this day comes the day earlier the 14th of Nissan each for each family a group should have a sacrifice of person in the temple in betameegasus at night we lost it and we eat it by the table the night of the Pisa we don't have the temple now the better mcdash was destroyed two thousand years ago we still want to remember that to remind ourselves to have something on the table to remind us that The Exodus of Egypt is connected with this sacrifice of PESA we cannot do a sacrifice now we don't have the temple so at least have part of the lemon roasted and laid down on the table no we will not eat it in this night to show us we don't have the real sacrifices but at least we shall remember so we lay down a roasted zeroa what means the conversation used to be a lamb so they used to take the arm of the lamb roast it put it on the table on the massage till the end of the Sega and then just throw it out don't end it because to show that we don't have the real common pleasure that's how it used to be in the earlier Generations now we our custom is not to put a roasted up wire arm because it says in the Quran that Hashem took us out from Egypt Ian with the outstretched arm we want to remember that too so if you take only one piece you take the arm of the Lamb and lost it and lay down on the table but then our question arm over them oh the lamb is the real coven pesach and when we'll see under a rusted it will feel that we are having still now the real sacrifice of pizza we don't have that so what do we do we take the lost a neck bone of a chicken a chicken is something that you could not even when there was the temple we could not do a sacrifice of the chicken it says what we could do a sacrifice from not from a chicken why did neckbone because that's the part that has the least flesh on it to show that we're not going to eat it it is something that is not a real carbon facer so in the latest Generations that's what we use our custom to use for the soul we still call it zeroa outstretched arm of Hashem that leads us out of suffering but we don't use something of a lamb we use something of a chicken and a part that has the least flesh meat is on the top left there is the bits up a hard-boiled egg what what does this reminds us of it reminds us when the Jews had the sacrifice of Pizza in the temple and they added their meal at home that little lamb wasn't enough for the whole family the lab that it says that it should be it just be young length less than one year old so how much flesh could be there not so much they used to do the center of pesach in those days in large groups of prepared invited guest a extended family that little lamb wasn't enough for everyone we didn't want that people should go out of the mill and still not be satisfied and full so if there is a large group that they felt that that wouldn't be enough they would have another sacrifice not a common pleasure they would call it koban hagiga for the high holidays sacrifice so one day that wasn't supposed to be roasted it could be cooked in any kind of way so they would give the first portion of that and when the people felt they are not hungry anymore but they are still not satisfied they're still not full then they would give each one a portion of the sacrifice of pizza hosted lamb and then they they feel already full they will act it together with the matzah and they feel already satisfied so that's like a King eating like the young perod that we are eating in a proper way a full meal we want to remind ourselves also of that part of the kobang hadiga for that we laid down a hard-boiled egg why a hard-boiled egg because it could be cooked it doesn't have to be roasted why a egg because it's from a chicken and it's not the chicken itself so it's not does not look like a real sacrifice that we cannot do today but this hard-boiled egg we do it not like devastate when do we eat it right after we eat the massage the milk first thing we do we eat this hard-boiled egg we dip it into salt water and we eat it why do we eat it it says that a hard-boiled egg is usually showing Mourning that when a person dies in the family in the first milk they have right after one of the things they eat is a hard-boiled egg which is mourning the death why hard-boiled egg it says eggs around and it's a cycle it shows out this person dies it's only a cycle every person when he is born it's happy in the family we know eventually he will die but we are still happy and when he dies we are all set and we're mourning him but we all know that it's a cycle so therefore an egg a hard-boiled egg is showing us the cycle and rolling and we are now mourning the fact that we still we now don't have the temple Temple is destroyed we're just having something to remind us of what was in the theater so for that this this that's the top right and top left and then in Middle to form a triangle it's a goal we're having tomorrow the bitter helps they all know what this is for to remind us the suffering and slavery of the Jewish people in Egypt be the elves could be a lot of things there are five species that are considered this now and if one of them which is the preferred one of them that if everyone could get it he should do it without arms is what we call the Roman letters casa why aroma lattice is out that this is has a special Tune Up In It character we eat it when it's not bitter because we cut it up on time from the ground if we show you should not cut it either way we should leave it longer in the ground as long it stays it becomes more and more bitter and this is what shows us the kind of suffering that our people had when they were slaves in Egypt when they just came to Egypt with yaakov tell them take them to the best place in Russia and sometime after he asked them to help and build the city become obsessed and when he got them to start walking and he paid themseling so he told them now you are continuing to walk as slaves and he turned them into slaves standing with a soft language ending the park with Frost's labor and slavery and therefore this Arabs the Roman letters that will make the salad of is the best thing to use for tomorrow then about a thousand years ago they just emigrate from Israel and from Iraq from government to here to Germany and then later on like five six hundred years ago they continue to move to Poland 250 years ago they continue moving to Russia it does called countries Homer letters can't go in the winter it's too cold for them so they started using another one of the five now kinds of model they started using house radish Tamra her name is because this is usually Going Underground and even if it's a cold country it could still grow in the winter nowadays we can get Casa we can get among letters everywhere if it doesn't go out there it's too cold you could deliver it to days they have the means to deliver from all over but for many generations the Jewish people use the horseradish so they continue using that and they add also drama lettuce today is the two kinds together we have some several leaves on the table of the Roman letters and in town oh in top of that some grinded osadish so that's already three but this we have twice on the matter it's two of the six why twice the same thing because we eat Maroney this night twice one is right after the mother we say about Pennsylvania and then we eat it as a sandwich together with the matcha it says when he speaks about the Quran base of the sacrifice of the tissue in it this night is so you know famous illum it was a time of the Temple so he used to eat it as a sandwich the the part of the roasted flesh meat and the matcha and the Maro all through together because that how we explain what it is not everyone agrees with him so therefore first we eat not just separately and marose separately that will make a sandwich together so therefore on the table you have the tumor one in Tamil the other the taparound is going to be in separately and the bottom one is what we eat as part of the sandwich the fifth and the fifth Island is what is called Harris what is how was it is the word of Health clay to remind us of the slavery work that they had to prepare clay for building the cities what is the actuary the harassment take some food or vegetables grind it put in some beverage into it and it will become like a dough like a clay Indonesia doesn't say what item what species we should use for that but later are great sages said let's take in the humorouses that at least when you grind it mix into it also grinded apples why apples apples when you grind it and you mix it in has give some sharpness to remind us it's not only regular clay it's Clay that was done with a lot of suffering then after the period of the Yamaha was the guy on him so the government said also mix in some grinded nuts why dots to remind us what it says that when Hashem came to seed the situation of Jewish people suffering in Egypt the basuke is using the expression elginato's I came down to a garden of nuts which means the Jewish people to see how they are doing doing an idea so they're suffering and I decided to help them so since that's what it says we shall use also grinded nuts in the harassment to remind us of that then like 500 years ago when the Kabbalah started so they wrote It's good to add some grinded pears into it whatever is in the cup I'll be the Kabbalah so we are having already three items that they're putting into it grinded apples kind of nuts and grinding Pips but that's not enough the gemara said we should also add grinded spices mainly jujan Cinema why so they explained it says in the homage when they made the clay they had to use straw mix in to keep it stronger and they shouldn't Fall Apart so we should add in the harassette in the clay kind also something the ginger cinnamon when you pound it you don't grind it it will become like strings of straw and that will show us that ourself has all the ingredients that used to be when the first labor in Egypt of making clay that's how it used to be until several Generations ago we don't put in ginger and cinnamon into our house and why because several Generations ago they used to buy ginger and cinnamon form general population the gardeners and this Garden is when they used to sell fresh ginger and cinnamon they wanted it to look fresh and it is so they added some flour over it a little dust of flower gives the view of something fresh which may be making comments so they started stopped using the ginger and cinnamon so I mainly using these three items of grinded apples nuts and penis then it says in the talmud yerushami that we shall mix into it later the form we eat we should mix into it some white red wine two reminders of blood blood first of the ten makot that Hashem first parole and Egypt to let the Jewish people go was he made their Rivers into blood so therefore we shall add some red wine into it we do it later before we eat are accustomed to do it is we don't add wine in it rather when we have our cup of wine that make leadership and the plate under it while we fill up the wine for the douche we fill it up completely and it overflows a little bit so in the plate stays a little bit wide so before we're using the harassment we take a little Closet off the top of the mixer we put it into the plate and that's where it's mixed with wine while we do it like that there is a halach explanation for that but it's out of the scope of our discussion today this kind of asset we don't eat but when we eat the Maro we dip it into the harassment and then we eat a bowl that's the fifth thing five items that are reminding us of Parts what was done by the period of slavery and the period of Exodus with the Jewish people from Egypt then there is a sixth thing sixth item that sixth item doesn't come to show us The Exodus of G Egypt it comes for another reason and therefore when we going to say that this sixth item is not going to be on the table as we said it says when we say we shall show for this the things that show us effects of the slavery end of The Exodus the sixth thing we are going to eat before we start again and it's not going to stay on the table anymore what is it and why do we put it so we put it to get the children to see that something strange is going on why do we want to show them something strange because it says in the homage when your children will ask you mazot what is this happening today so we are starting the meal in a strange way so they are going to ask what is it yes sure today we prepare the children they will know already before but they are going to ask the four questions and one of the fourth question will be why are we dipping going in two times but buildings data on him one of them is this karpas which means right after the Kiddush and we're doing the wine usually we're going to wash and eat a lot and eat the start of it here we make kid wish we don't start the meal yes we go to Washington come back we take something we dip it into South salt water and we eat it usually we don't do nothing we don't touch them outside so this is special to do something strange to fulfill what it says to get the children anxious to know understand what's going on doesn't say what kind of thing we should eat just Yak vegetable then the skin said let's take compass what means kappas today it's called celery in the time of the gemara it used to be called petrozilia still being called like that in some places so this is but it doesn't say anything we should use them that's later our great sages said let's take Compass why can't pass let's eat this celery why because the letters of compass at least show us something of the suffering the lenos of campas is like means hard slavery work means the six hundred thousand Jewish people that was in Egypt in that time so therefore they said let's eat it for the Eric in the mission doesn't say what so let's use this they used it for several Generations but again when the Jewish people immigrated to Germany Poland and Russia in these called places the salary doesn't work doesn't grow up winter this is also something that goes out of the ground and the cold it doesn't take the cold so they changed it we are using now onions onion grows underground the white part of the onion so even in the winter it exists so right after it's douche in Russia and we cut off piece of the onion we dip it in the salt water and we say the map and we eat it and that's it and children wondering what is this we never do that to get the more anxious we do too little more items to get their attention we're filling up the second cup of wine that we are going to drink after we finish the roll again why are we filling up the cup now children don't understand we didn't start the middle the Amelia usually after the news we start the meal why are you putting in another cup filling up another cup to make it even more before we put on the cup we covered the matzah we broke a half we have it on the table all set we said hey all right after that we cover the Mata or we push it away a little bit children are saying why I'm covering the Mata when you have to start the meal right after all these changes children are asking the four questions what happened this night that we do all this strange kind of things and then go on and on and say the hola goddam until the end of the Agatha where we drink the fat cup and we all announce next year we're all going to be released and leaving peace in the holy city of Jerusalem thank you
