blessing is recited. One should refrain from talking until after he eats the
Karpas.
KARPAS
Dip a small piece of celery (less than kezayit) into saltwater or vinegar, and recite Bore Peri
Ha’Adama while having in mind Karpas and Maror.
Blessed are You HASHEM our God King of the Universe, Who creates the fruit of the earth.
EAT THE KARPAS WITHOUT LEANING.
YAHATZ
The head the household breaks the middle Matza into two pieces. He sets aside the larger piece
for the Afikoman and returns the smaller piece back in between the top and bottom Matza. It is
the custom of Moroccan Jewry to recite the following words in Arabic prior to cracking the Matza.
English
This is how God split the sea into twelve paths
when our ancestors went out of Egypt by the hand
of our master and prophet Moshe, son of Amram,
may peace be upon him. Just as God redeemed
and saved our ancestors from slavery, in this same
manner God will take us out of our current exile,
for the sake of His great and awesome name!
