One Halakha Closer to Becoming an Eshet Hayil

BS''D
7 Nisan 5772

Shabbat Kodesh Parashat Tsav
This Shabbat is SHABBAT HAGADOL!


Hadlakat Nerot NY 7:00pm
Mossaei Shabbat 8:09pm
Rabbenu Tam 8:31pm
 

Urhas Each person washes his or her hands for the wet vegetables going to be  eaten next. A berakha is not recited on this washing of hands.

 

Karpas We eat less than a  kazzayit of a green vegetable (celery is our custom) after dipping it in salt water. We recite  Boreh Peri Ha'adamah on the karpas  vegetable. It is our custom to have intention that this berakha "cover" the adamah of the maror, which will be eaten later.


Yahas The middle massa is broken, by hand, into two pieces. The smaller piece is replaced between the two whole matzot while the larger piece is set aside for Afikoman. Each individual takes a turn carrying the afiqoman massa, wrapped in a cloth holder, over one's shoulder reciting Mish'arotam... as a symbolic  reenactment of the Exodus.
