Your Seder Table
Whether you'll be joining the virtual Community Seder, or making your own family seder, here's a list of items for a traditional seder table:
-
a seder plate (or designated plate)
-
wine or grape juice and a cup for each participant
-
a plate with three matzahs
-
napkin or something in which to place the afikomen
-
Elijah's cup (extra wine cup)
-
a bowl with salt water
-
parsley or other vegetable for dipping
-
roasted egg (boiled and then slightly burnt on the stovetop)
-
shank bone (or roasted beet, or paper cut-out or drawing of a shank bone)
-
charoset (recipes available online, often a mixture of apples, walnuts and wine)
-
bitter herb (horseradish or bitter lettuce);
-
Optional, but fun for the kids at the community seder: scallions/green onions
-
food/dinner for the festive meal
Remember that we light candles at the start of the holiday, so you'll want your "shabbat" candles on hand.
