Seder night: after Kiddush
They bring it before him — he dips the chazeres
PermissiveThey brought
Until the matzah course
Like the wealthy, who began with appetizers
Matzah, chazeres, charoses and two cooked dishes
PermissiveThey brought
Two dishes: for the Pesach and the Chagigah
Not in every text
Is charoses a mitzvah?
Tanna KammaNo — though it is still brought→ not a mitzvah — still brought
Rabbi Eliezer ben Rabbi TzadokYes, it is a mitzvah→ a mitzvah
Against the lettuce's harm
Like the mortar in Mitzrayim
In the Mikdash: the Korban Pesach itself
Permissivebring
“With matzos and maror they shall eat it”Bamidbar 9:11
Rabban Gamliel: point to it
Pesachim 10:3
The Seder Table
מַה הָיוּ מְבִיאִים לְפָנָיו בַּסֵּדֶר
הֵבִיאוּ לְפָנָיו,
מְטַבֵּל בַּחֲזֶרֶת, עַד שֶׁמַּגִּיעַ לְפַרְפֶּרֶת הַפַּת.
הֵבִיאוּ לְפָנָיו
מַצָּה,
וַחֲזֶרֶת,
וַחֲרֹסֶת,
וּשְׁנֵי תַבְשִׁילִין,
אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאֵין חֲרֹסֶת מִצְוָה.
רַבִּי אֱלִיעֶזֶר בְּרַבִּי צָדוֹק אוֹמֵר, מִצְוָה.
וּבַמִּקְדָּשׁ הָיוּ מְבִיאִים לְפָנָיו גּוּפוֹ שֶׁל פָּסַח.
