Passover Seder Plates

The Passover Seder Plate Hebrew: ke'ara (קערה) is a special plate containing symbolic foods used by Jews during the Passover Seder. Each of the six items arranged on the plate have special significance to the retelling of the story of the Exodus from Egypt, which is the focus of this ritual meal. The seventh symbolic item used during the meal—a stack of three matzos—is placed on its own plate on the Seder table.


The six items on the Seder Plate are:

Maror and chazeret
Charoset
Karpas
Z'roa
Beitzah
