Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

They're not soft, and therefore we can't wrap anything in them.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

So some Rishonim say that, no, korech doesn't mean you're supposed to wrap the matzah around the marar.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

It means you're supposed to wrap the marar around the matzah.

Ten Minute Halacha

You try wrapping a piece of horseradish around something.

Ten Minute Halacha

Obviously, the mara they're assuming is lettuce, that you could wrap it around the matzah.

Ten Minute Halacha

Now, we passed in that we wrap the matzah around the mara.

Ten Minute Halacha

And probably what korech meant was that it was a soft matzah, like the svarimit.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

It meant that they had a shawarma, that they would take a laffah, which is what the Sephardi matzahs look like, and put some lamb in it.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

That's the Karbon Pesach and the lettuce for the Marah.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

Okay, no hummus, but other than that, it was probably a very delicious shawarma.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

I don't know if they had those greasy paper bags underneath it, but okay, but you know, you had a shawarma.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

Two more and then we'll stop, unless you have more suggestions.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

Another misconception, a lot of people don't realize that when we get to Halil, there is a Tzura to how to say Halil.

Ten Minute Halacha
Common Seder Misconceptions

Halil was instituted to be said like a Dover Shebek Dusha.
