This Seder plate offers a simple way to add some Israeli sparkle to your Seder table! It features six indented circles, each of which is engraved with the name of the ritual food it holds. A floral design runs between the six sections, and around the edges of the plate.
The Seder plate - or kearah in Hebrew, is the centerpiece of the Seder. It holds the six symbolic foods eaten and used throughout the night: Beitza, a hard-boiled egg whose shell has been singed to commemorate the destruction of the Temples; Zeroah, a roasted shank bone to remind us of the Pascal lamb offering; Maror and Hazeret, two types of bitter herb or vegetable eaten to enforce sympathy with the bitterness of the Jews' 400 year slavery; Karpas, a vegetable which is dipped in salt water to symbolize spring and regrowth; and Haroset, a thick, sweet paste made from wine, apples, dates and nuts which looks like the cement the Jews were forced to pour during their slavery.
