After eating the maror<\/strong>, we make a sandwich from a kezayit<\/strong> of maror<\/strong> in a kezayit<\/strong> of matza and dip it in \u1e25aroset<\/strong>. Some people also shake off any \u1e25aroset<\/strong> that sticks to the maror<\/strong>, as with the eating of maror<\/strong> (MB 475:19). Others do not remove the \u1e25aroset<\/strong> from the maror<\/strong> in the case of korekh<\/strong> (Kaf<\/strong> Ha-\u1e25ayim<\/strong> 457:32). We then say \u201czekher<\/strong> le-Mikdash<\/strong> ke-Hillel\u201d<\/strong> (\u201cin commemoration of the Temple, according to Hillel\u201d), and eat the korekh <\/strong>while reclining (SA 475:1). As we learned, a kezayit<\/strong> is about a third of a machine matza.<\/p>\n

According to Hillel the Elder, in Temple times the mitzva was fulfilled by eating matza and maror <\/strong>together, as it is stated: \u201cThey shall eat it with matzot<\/strong> and merorim<\/strong>\u201d (Bamidbar 9:11). According to the other Sages, people would eat the matza and maror<\/strong> separately. Since no final decision was reached regarding this matter, we follow both practices.<\/p>\n

However, even Hillel would concur that today it is impossible to fulfill one\u2019s obligation by eating matza with maror<\/strong>. This is because without the Paschal sacrifice the mitzva to eat matza remains Torah-based, while eating maror<\/strong> is of rabbinic origin. If they are eaten together, the maror<\/strong>, which is rabbinic, will detract from the matza, which is from the Torah. Therefore, one must first eat a kezayit<\/strong> of matza. After this, one eats a kezayit<\/strong> of maror<\/strong> without matza, because the matza obligation has already been fulfilled, and if one eats matza with maror<\/strong> at this point, the taste of the matza, which is no longer a mitzva, will overshadow the taste of the maror<\/strong>, which is a rabbinic mitzva. After fulfilling both mitzvot <\/strong>separately, we put matza and maror <\/strong>together like a sandwich and eat them in commemoration of Hillel\u2019s practice (Pesa\u1e25im<\/strong> 115a and Tosafot<\/strong> s.v. \u201c<\/strong>ella\u201d<\/strong>; MB 475:16). And some say that while it is clear that today, according to Hillel, the matza must be eaten separately, nonetheless, in order to fulfill the rabbinic mitzva to eat maror<\/strong>, it must be eaten with matza. According to this opinion, when we eat the korekh<\/strong>, we are fulfilling the mitzva to eat maror<\/strong> (Pri<\/strong> \u1e24adash<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

In any event, according to all opinions one should be careful not to talk until he has finished eating korekh<\/strong>. Indeed, it is customary to refrain from talking between the blessing over the matza and that of the maror<\/strong>, until we have finished eating the korekh<\/strong>. It is only permissible to talk about matters related to fulfilling the mitzva.[24]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

\n[24]<\/a>. Ha-Seder<\/strong> He-arukh<\/strong> ch. 92 summarizes that according to Hillel, if one erroneously ate each ingredient separately, he does not fulfill his obligation according to Rashbam and Ramban, while according to Tosafot <\/strong>and Ha-ma\u2019or<\/strong>, he fulfills his obligation be-di\u2019avad<\/strong>. As for the Sages\u2019 position, if one ate them together he does not fulfill his obligation according to Rashbam (citing R. Yo\u1e25anan) and Ha-ma\u2019or<\/strong>, but according to Ramban and Rashbam (citing R. Ashi), he fulfills his obligation le-khat\u1e25ila<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
