                      ii. The next best way to perform the mitzva is to drink most of the cup (i.e. a little 
                             more than half) 

                     iii. If one drinks at least majority of a r​ evi’it,​ he fulfills the mitzva, albeit not in the 
                             best manner. 

    12. One should drink the required amount (see #11) without pause. 
              a. If one drank the required amount with breaks in between, he fulfills the mitzva on 
                   condition that most of the cup was drunk within 4-7.5 minutes. 

    13. Even if one has a distaste for wine or causes him pain, he should push himself to drink the four 
         cups. 
              a. This can be accomplished by having small cups that just hold a r​ evi’it. 

    14. One is allowed to drink grape juice instead of wine, but wine is more preferable, especially for 
         the first cup. 

    15. Primarily, one should use red wine that isn’t ​mevushal​ (boiled). 
              a. Note: When using such wine, one should adhere to the rules involved applicable to 
                   non-Jewish staff or servants. 

    16. Children who have reached the age of ​hinuch​ (5 and up) should have a cup in front of them to 
         partake in the mitzva. 

    17. The custom is to have someone else pour the cup for you. 
    18. Kiddush is recited along with the blessing of ​She’he’heyanu​.  

              a. If Pesah falls on Shabbat, Y​ om HaShishi-Vaychulu​ is added. 
              b. If Pesah falls on Motsae Shabbat, the order is as follows: 

                       i. Y​ayin - HaGefen 
                      ii. K​iddush​ - (M​ ekadesh Yisrael VeHaZemanim) 

                     iii. N​er - Bore Me’Ore HaEsh 

                     iv. H​avdala - Hamavdil 

                      v. Ze​ man - She’he’heyanu 
              c. If forgotten, Havdala can be recited after the conclusion of Magid. 
    19. One leans when drinking cup #1.  
    20. One may drink more cups of wine between cups #1 and #2 but one should make sure this doesn’t 
         bring him to drunkenness which will prevent him from reciting the Hagada. Therefore it is not 
         recommended. 
    21. The K​ e’ara​ (Seder Plate) is now brought to the table and placed in front of the head of the 
         household. 
    22. The ​Ke’ara​ consists of 
              a. Three matzot 
              b. Maror 
              c. Haroset 
              d. Karpas 
              e. Salt-water or vinegar 
              f. Shank bone 
              g. Egg  
    23. The placement of the ​Ke’ara​ should follow the diagram labelled in any Sephardic Hagada.
