The three year olds at IBECC learned about the different kinds of maror that people use. Some people use the “bitter and spicy” maror—the horseradish root. Students passed it around and the children noticed that they did not like the smell at all. It was easy to see why. Pharaoh made the lives of the Jews very bitter. It is a hard concept to compare a food to a way of life but the children seemed to understand. They know that all the foods at the Seder remind us of parts of the story of yetziat Mitzrayim.
