If you’re in the market for a new Seder plate, here are some beautiful options that would make any Bubbe platz.

Using the word traditional in any context with Judaism is unfair, since no two houses share the exact same traditions. But, if you are looking for a plate that reminds you of your grandmother’s matzah ball soup, one of these should fit the bill.

These ceramic plates with painted blue and white floral details capture the importance of the tradition that comes with this holiday. Or, an elegant ornate silver plate is another option that also feels like classic traditional piece.

Having a Seder plate that has the Hebrew word, English word, and a picture of the six traditional foods is a great tool for teaching kids about Passover. This multipack would be a hit at the kids’ table and allow each child to have an up-close look at what is in the Charoset. It would even keep them mor(ar) involved during the reading of the Haggadah. Now, if these plates could only teach the youngest one the four questions!

A Seder plate consists of one large plate with six smaller, separate dishes or wells to contain specific foods that are part of the Passover Seder. Some of the foods you eat in specific ways while others are just on the plate as a reminder of the Jewish people’s exodus from Egypt. The meaning behind each of these foods is explained in the reading of the Haggadah.

The Seder plate usually has a hardboiled egg (beitzah), a shank bone (zeroa), bitter herbs (maror), vegetables (karpas), a sweet fruit paste (charoset), and a different bitter herb (chazaret). Some vegans may use alternatives like a beet for the shank bone, or an avocado pit, white eggplant, or cooked potatoes for the egg. You may even want to incorporate an orange on the plate that represents the women and LGBTQ+ people of Judaism.

While it may seem that the Seder plate has a lot of items for this ritual, there are some other key food items in separate dishes on the table that are necessary for a traditional Seder. Matzah, salt water, and wine are other critical components that tell the story. The matzah is eaten with charoset, maror, and chazaret and the karpas or beitzah are dipped in salt water. Most of these foods are eaten before the festive meal.

This meal is different for everyone and does not have rules as to what is eaten, but classic options for this meal are gefilte fish, matzah ball soup, brisket, and coconut macaroons for dessert.

Whichever way you make your Seder and Seder plate, so long as it’s kosher and has the six symbolic foods, it’s good to go.

First, everyone at the table should have the same Haggadah to follow along with the story and the prayers. If you have children participating in the Seder meal, you can try a guide written specifically for families, or you can even create your own.

Then, you’ll need a small basin and pitcher for the leader of the Seder to wash their hands at the beginning of the reading of the Haggadah, as well as a small pillow for the leader to help them recline.

As is tradition, leave a wine goblet out on the table for the prophet Elijah and Moses’ sister Miriam. You’ll also need a matzah cover for the table and an afikoman bag to keep the afikoman safe while it is hidden.

And, you’ll need candles and candle sticks for the special candle lighting that marks the transition from day to night.
