Finally, we eat the festive meal; it seems like we've been waiting for it for hours! Askhenazic
Jews start the meal with hard-boiled eggs dipped in salt water, either as a symbol of mourning
or as a symbol of birth and life. Sephardic Jews have a custom of serving roast lamb as part of
the meal, to remind them of the Pesach offering, but they don't bring a whole roast lamb to the
table, so no one will think they tried to bring an actual sacrifice when there is no longer a
Temple.
