הChelek 5
- Wash netillas yodayim and say a beracha. Pick up the three matzos in order. The top and bottom ones are for the mitzva of Lechem Mishna. The middle one is Lechem Oni. Say Hamotzi. Drop the bottom one. Say Al Achillas Matza. Have in mind both berachos on both the top and middle matzos. Crack off a kezayis from each matza and put the two kezaysim together into your mouth while reclining. (ShA — MB , , , )
- Take a kezayis of Maror and dip it into Charoses. Remove the Maror quickly and shake off the Charoses. Say Al Achillas Maror and eat it. Reclining is not required. (ShA — MB , )
- Next, crack off a kezayis from the bottom matza and wrap it with a kezayis of Maror dipped in Charoses (unless your minhag is not to dip). Shake off the Charoses, nibble a little, then recite ‘Zecher l’mikdosh k’hillel…’. Put the two kezaysim into your mouth together and eat while reclining. (ShA — MB , , , , )
- You should not talk from the beracha Al Achillas Matza until after Korech since the beracha needs to cover Korech as well. (ShA — MB )
- The mitzva of eating matza is to chew it and taste it. Maror is different — if you just swallow Maror without tasting it, you are not yotzay. (ShA — MB )
- You are only obligated to eat matza on the Seder night. After that you only have the Mitzva of Seudas Yom Tov. (ShA — MB , )
