During the Jewish Passover, traditional foods carry deep significance. The matzah symbolizes the haste of the Jewish escape from Egypt, while the maror (bitter herbs) represents the bitterness of slavery. The charoset mixture signifies the mortar used by slaves in Egypt, and the lamb shank bone recalls the paschal sacrifice. Each food plays a role in telling the story of liberation, central to the Passover narrative. These foods not only serve as reminders of history but also promote discussion and reflection during the Seder meal.
