Are You Seder Ready? Here’s what you need to have at your table:

  • Seder Plate (any large plate will do):
    • Haroset – the sweet mortar – mixed chopped fruit, nuts, spices, and sweet wine
    • Roasted Egg – celebrating Spring – or go vegan with a flower blossom
    • Karpas – green leafy vegetable (parsley or celery are classics)
    • Maror – bitter herb (horseradish)
    • Hazeret – more bitterness (lettuce leaf)
    • Zeroa – a lamb’s bone or go vegan with a beet
    • Optional: an orange (lift up the LGBTQ+ community), a lock & key (for those
      currently enslaved and incarcerated), a tomato (for farmworkers)
  • Spring Hors d’oeuvres for dipping and noshing:
    • Celery, carrots, chopped raw veggies
    • Hard boiled eggs
    • Gefilte Fish
    • Olives
    • Potatoes (however you like them!)
  • A festive dinner
