הChelek 5
- After the Shulchan Orech, eat the original cracked matza. Lechatchila, each man and woman should be given 2 kezaysim — one zaycher l’Pesach and another zaycher to the matza eaten with the Pesach. (ShA — MB , )
- Do not recite a beracha now. The original Al Achillas Matza covers the Afikoman as well. Eat while reclining. (ShA — MB )
- The Korban Pesach must be eaten before chatzos. Since the Afikoman is zaycher l’Pesach, it also must be eaten before chatzos. Bedieved, eat the matza even after chatzos since some poskim hold that the mitzva continues until morning. (ShA — MB )
- If you are late in starting the Seder until close to chatzos, you should just say Kiddush and skip to Rochtza, Motzi Matza, and Maror. Say the Hagadda afterwards and then have the rest of the seuda. (MB )
- If the Afikoman is lost, take another shmura matza to eat. (Rama )
