The Passover Seder Plate - A Beautiful Symbol of Pesach
Jewish Gift Place is proud to carry a large selection
of magnificent handmade Passover Seder Plates, which are used on the first two
nights of Passover to tell the story of Exodus. There are six dishes on the
Passover Seder Plate which each hold a food that symbolizes the struggles of
the Jewish in Egypt. Charoset is a mixture of apples, nuts, wine and
spices which symbolizes the mortar that the Jews used to build with when they
were slaves in Egypt. The egg symbolizes the spring season in which
Passover is celebrated. Bitter herbs symbolizes the difficult and bitter
lives of the Jews in Egypt. Zeroah is the shank bone of meat or poultry
which represents a Passover sacrifice in the temple. Karpas is a vegetable,
often celery, parsley, or potatoes, which symbolizes the Springtime and is also
dipped into the salt water at the beginning of the Seder to represent the tears
of the Jews. Read all of articles about Jewish Passover traditions.
