Karpas

Karpas is a small piece of vegetable, like parsley or celery, used during the Passover Seder meal. It is dipped in saltwater and eaten early in the ceremony. The Karpas symbolizes spring and renewal, representing new life and the hope for freedom. The saltwater recalls tears and hardships endured, while the act of dipping signifies reflection and transition. Overall, it serves as a meaningful reminder of perseverance and the journey from slavery to liberation in Jewish tradition.
