This Week’s Tip – Make Mini-Seder Plates to Keep the Dragons at Bay

We recommend assembling mini-seder plates for everyone at the Seder. This accomplishes a multitude of good things.

(While we’re not big users of paper plates, this is one time when they work especially well. Once built, you can cover them with plastic wrap,and stack them easily in the fridge before the Seder. Then afterward, they are easy to toss.)

If the kids put the mini-plates together – with some parsley, charoset, and maror, along with half a hard-boiled egg, some celery, and maybe a piece of gefilte fish – they start to really understand the symbolic foods.

Doing this also saves lots of time. No need to pass around a bowl of charoset to everyone at the table. No need to wait for everyone to grab a piece of parsley. No need to pause while the maror is passed around.

In our home, we use these plates to build in a snack break when we get to the third step of the Seder, Karpas. This helps keep the spirits high. (And I’m not just talking about the kids!)
