Nirtza

We complete the Hallel section of the Seder by drinking the fourth and final cup and reciting a beracha
acharona (after-blessing) on the wine. At that point, the final section of the Seder begins, known as Nirtza,
when we ask Hashem to find favor [nirtza] with our Seder ceremony. We pray that just as Hashem took us
out of Egypt, so too will He take us out of this exile we can celebrate the Seder with the korban pesach very
soon, and conclude by singing leshana haba’ah biYerushalayim hebenuyah, next year in rebuilt Jerusalem! 12

Summary of Halachot of the

Seder Night II

Maror

1. Gemara/Rambam – The mitzva of maror today applies by rabbinic law only.
2. Which species should be used for maror
a. Gemara/Shulchan Aruch – Romaine lettuce is the preferred choice.
b. Chazon Ish – Regular lettuce that does not taste bitter should not be used.
c. Yerushalmi/Shulchan Aruch HaRav – Lettuce is acceptable since it eventually
becomes bitter, even if it is not bitter when consumed. The key factor is that it is
defined as a species of maror.
d. Minchat Asher – Agrees that non-bitter maror may be used, the key is it must be
eaten in a way that the bitterness can be tasted if it does contain some.

12. It should be noted that the songs found at the end of the Haggada, such as Adir Hu and Chad Gadya appear to be a later edition to the Seder, and
were not found in the text of the Haggada of the Rishonim. [Addition of the editors of the English edition]
