Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

In fact, it sounds from the Shulchan Aruch, it sounds from the Makhluk, because we've shown them whether there's a mitzvah of eating charosis.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

But we're asking that the maror is supposed to be dipped into the charosis, shaken off, and then eaten as maror.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

You're not supposed to pile on charosis on the maror just because charosis is way more delicious than maror is.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

If you want to eat charosses later on during the Seder, because today you have all Seder long.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

You can eat charosses during the entire Shulchan Aruch if you really like it that much and you're not just eating it because it's the best of the bad options at that stage in the day when you're

when you're starving.

This may also relate to this issue of whether there's a mitzvah, chilos, charosas, may relate to an issue of whether you're allowed to eat charosas on Erev Pesach.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

Erev Pesach, you're really sorry, there's nothing to eat.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

So can you eat charosas on Erev Pesach?

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

See, if there's a mitzvah, chilos, charosas, on the night of the Seder, probably you shouldn't eat on Erev Pesach.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

just like you shouldn't, there's an issue to eat matzah, and you shouldn't drink wine on Erev Pesach, because anything you have mitzvah chila that night, you're supposed to avoid eating earlier that day.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

But if there's no mitzvah chila, it's just something you dip in to take away the sharpness of the mara, or whatever it is, some element of the mara, so then l'chora, you'd be allowed to eat it.

Another thing that people make a mistake about,

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

is that, I always do this in my high school share, I always say, what does the word korech mean?

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

And everyone always says, korech means sandwich.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

Korech does not mean sandwich anywhere in Shas.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

Korech always means to wrap.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

It means that you wrap something.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

Why do we think korech means sandwich?

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

Because our matzahs are crackers.
