7. Now the blessing is said over the matzah. 'Blessed are You, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who brings forth food from the earth.' The next blessing will speak of the commandment to eat matzah.

8. Everyone eats matzah.

9. Maror (bitter herbs) - Because the Israelites were slaves in Egypt, they eat bitter herbs to remind them of their former life of cruel slavery. Horseradish (whether root or prepared sauce) is the most commonly used. A piece of bitter herb is placed on a piece of matzah and eaten.

10. Korech (Hillel sandwich) - Next, participants place bitter herbs and charoset between two pieces of matzah to make a 'Hillel sandwich,' then eat the sandwich.

11. Dinner - Now it is time to eat dinner! The main dishes of the Passover dinner include boiled eggs, matzah ball soup, brisket, and even matzah lasagna. Desserts usually include ice cream, cheesecake and flourless cake, usually made with chocolate.

12. Eating the Afikomen - After dessert time, participants eat the Kosher afikomen matzah. Remember that the afikomen matzah was hidden or 'stolen' at the beginning of the seder? So at this time the afikomen must be returned to the seder leader. 13. Barech (blessing) - The third cup of wine is poured. The blessing is recited, and then participants drink the wine. Now, an extra cup of wine is poured for the prophet, and the door is opened so that the prophet may enter.

14. Hallel (hymns of praise) - Now the door is closed, and before drinking the fourth and final cup of wine, everyone sings hymns praising God.

15. Nirtzah (conclusion) - Now the Passover seder is officially over, but most families will say a final blessing, 'Next year in Jerusalem!' expressing their hope to celebrate Passover in Israel next year.

Jewish dietary requirements are very strict and have their historical origins, so if businesses want to be popular in the Kosher market, they need to learn more about their cultural background and produce and sell qualified Kosher-certified products.
