Editing Night of the Seder (section)

== The Seder Plate ==
A cover for matzot according to Chabad custom. The Seder plate is customarily arranged when returning from the synagogue. The Rebbe arranged the plate while standing, and before performing an action in arranging the plate, he would read (quietly) the words connected to that action and then perform it. For example, first saying the words "the shank bone on the right" and then placing the shank bone, etc.

They are also particular that there should be a "plate" for everyone above the age of Bar Mitzvah, and it is also good to place a plate for minors for educational purposes. At the Rebbe's Seder, throughout the entire Seder his cup remained to the right of the plate.

In the Rebbe's house, they would arrange the matzot on a cloth and not on a plate, except for the Rebbe who arranged the matzot on a silver tray.
