Afikoman
The afikoman is the very last piece of matza we eat at the seder, to remind us of the Korban Pesach. By now it is late at night and the children are beginning to fall asleep. To keep them interested, we have a custom that the children steal the afikoman from their parents and hide it. They know that the seder can’t go on without the afikoman, so they offer to give it back to their parents in exchange for a present that they will get during Hol HaMo’ed.
