Editing Night of the Seder (section)

==== Shulchan Orech ====
Afterwards, we eat the meal and there is no need to recline. In the Alter Rebbe's siddur it states: "Eat and drink as needed." The Rebbe commented on this: "And one could say that it teaches us two things: 1) That one should eat enough, so that the Afikoman will be eaten when satisfied (since it is in memory of the Pesach offering that was eaten when satisfied). 2) That one should not eat more than needed, so that eating the Afikoman will not be gross eating."

We begin the meal by eating an egg dipped in salt water. The Rebbe would dip three times. The reason for eating the egg is because it is a reminder of the destruction of the Temple. According to another reason, it is a reminder of the chagigah offering.

It is permissible to drink wine but not to say "L'chaim." However, one should not eat roasted meat for fear that it might appear as if one is eating the Pesach offering.

One should be careful during the meal regarding "gebrokts" (matzah soaked in liquid).
