Maror

Maror is a symbolic ingredient used during the Jewish Passover Seder to represent the bitterness of slavery experienced by the Israelites in Egypt. Traditionally, it's made from bitter herbs like horseradish or bitter lettuce. When eaten, it serves as a reminder of the suffering endured and the importance of freedom. The bitter taste evokes the hardships faced, encouraging reflection on resilience and liberation. Its inclusion in the Seder underscores the historical journey from oppression to liberation, connecting participants to their ancestral past through sensory experience and shared storytelling.
