A Jerusalem Stone Seder Plate into which symbolic
Hebrew calligraphy has been carved. Since the destruction of the Temple
the Jewish people have celebrated the Exodus in a fashion that has
slowly evolved into the present day Seder, (meaning order), centering
around the tightly structured "Hagadah" or ritual "relating" of the
events. All participants are encouraged to regard themselves as
personally experiencing the exodus from Egypt. The following symbols
compose this unique Seder plate centerpiece, designed with today's
hi-tech world in mind. "MAROR", Bitter herbs, symbolizing the
bitterness of Egyptian slavery. "KARPAS", Vegetable, usually parsley,
dipped into salt water, representing the tears shed during Egyptian
slavery. "CHAZERET", often lettuce, is used in addition to the Maror as
a bitter herb. "CHAROSETH", Apple, nuts and spices ground together and
mixed with wine are symbolic of the mortar used by the slaves to build
for the Egyptians. "ZEROA", the shankbone symbolizing the Paschal lamb,
sacrificed in times of the Temple. "BEITZA" has been interpreted by
many to symbolize the mourning of the Jewish people for the loss of the
Temple. Includes frosted glass inserts.
Measurements: 10.8 x 10.8 in. (27 x 27 cm.)
