Urechatz – åøçõ
Wash the hands without reciting the blessing.
Karpas - ëøôñ
All participants take a piece of Karpas (a vegetable other than the Maror)
less than the size of an olive, dip it in salt water and eat it after reciting
the following blessing:
Blessed are You, L-rd, our G-d, King of the universe, who
creates the fruit of the earth.
(When reciting this blessing have in mind that it is also for the bitter
herbs (of maror and korech, to be eaten later on).
Yachatz - éçõ
Take the middle matzah and break it into two, one piece larger than the
other. The larger piece is set aside to serve as afikoman. The smaller piece
is put back, between the two matzot.
Maggid – îâéã
Raise the tray with the matzot and say:
This is the bread of affliction that our fathers ate in the
land of Egypt. Whoever is hungry, let him come and eat; whoever is in need,
let him come and celebrate the Pesach festival. This year we are here; next
year may we be in the land of Israel. This year we are slaves; next year
may we be free people.
The tray with the matzot is moved aside, and the second cup is poured.
