Pesach: The De'oraisa Mitzvos and the Ka'arah

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

Which mitzvos at the Seder are d'Oraisa? Maror and korech are d'Rabbanan today, since maror needs a korban Pesach. The Ka'ara was once the plate everyone ate from, and the Arizal sets it al pi kabbalah rather than by the Shulchan Aruch's order of ein maavirin al hamitzvos. Kodesh Urchatz is a rhyming map of the Seder.

Key points

• Matzah, sippur yetzias Mitzrayim and benching are the Seder's three d'Oraisa mitzvos today.
• The Arizal sets ten items on the Ka'ara to match the ten sefiras.
• The Mishnah in Pesachim lists chazeres among five options for maror, so it is the same thing.
