[edit] Where's the image?

The picture of the Passover Seder Plate usually doesn't appear on my screen. When I did see it once, it looked rather sparse and didn't have all the items traditionally included on the Seder Plate. Yoninah 22:39, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Orange

Recently, many feminist-sensitive Seders have placed an orange on the Seder plate. This is supposedly in response to a conservative rabbi stating that women belonged in the clergy like an orange on the Seder plate. I think this information might make the article more interesting and up-to-date. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Euroster (talk • contribs) 04:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC).

I have revived added the orange item, as it is notable. — Rickyrab | Talk 20:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

The story about the conservative rabbi comparing a woman on the bimah to an orange on the seder plate appears to be an urban legend, though it's commonly told in liberal Jewish circles. I'm going to add a bit more detail to this item. Rickterp 14:36, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is one supposed to not do with the egg?

"Since the destruction of the Temple, the beitzah serves as a visual reminder of the chagigah; it is either not eaten or handled during the Seder or eaten dipped in salt water (which represents tears)."

That sentence above could do with some clarifying. What is one not supposed to do with the egg, precisely? -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 02:50, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
