Justin Mathews Choice #2

While I enjoyed learning all about the sater meal, I'm curious as to what the point of it was. I understand it happened before their forty years in the wilderness, but is that it? First, a brief description of all that was. We were given matzos which are cracker like pieces of bread that did not have yeast added to them. Each matzos given out was to be broken into three individual pieces. Later in the meal one piece is to be hidden for children to find, we didn't get to do that though. We were given some haroseth to be put on our matzos. Haroseth was composed of chopped apples, walnuts, cinamin, and sweet wine. We were also given manroar? which was horseradish and symbolized all the bitterness. We were offered hard boiled eggs, which it seems not too many people other than me in the class like, I did not catch the significance of the eggs. The first part of the meal involved taking a piece of parsley and dipping it in salt water to signify the sweat and tears, yummy. Next came the matzos and haroseth, which was to be sandwiched with manroar? And another piece of matzos. A lamb was slaughtered and the shankbone was eaten, but that ritual ended after 70 AD when the Roman's destroyed the temple.
