Charoset: The Sweetness of Liberation - The Symbolism on the Passover Table

We are happy to welcome botanical expert and historian Avraham Dahan, the author of the Talmudic Encyclopedia of Plants & Herbs, as a guest teacher.

The presence of Charoset on the Seder table is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition and symbolism, particularly during the Passover holiday, which commemorates the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt. Charoset is a sweet, paste-like mixture made from various ingredients, including apples, nuts, wine, and spices. Its exact origin is not definitively documented, but there are several explanations for its presence on the Seder table, which Avraham will expand upon.
