Pesach: Korech Shefoch Chamascha and Bedikas Chametz

AI summary (may contain mistakes)

How are Korech, the afikoman and the last steps of the Seder done properly? The Chachamim keep d'Oraisa matzah apart from d'Rabbanan maror, and Korech then fulfills Hillel's shitah of a sandwich. Later steps keep reminders of the Korban Pesach, from trying to eat the afikoman before chatzos to putting it away. Hillel after the door is opened turns to the geulah, and a short guide to tonight's bedikas chametz and kol chamira follows.

Key points

• With matzah d'Oraisa and maror d'Rabbanan today, a sandwich lets the maror cancel the matzah.
• One posek sees saying the zecher before Korech as a hefsek, yet all Klal Yisrael says it.
• Even among adults the afikoman is put away, since kodashim needed watching against tumah.
• Pouring a kos for Eliyahu is brought, but Eliyahu visiting the Seder has no source.
• Forgetting the Pesach mention in Al HaGefen tonight means repeating it, since the wine is an obligation.
