Maror

Asked by Shlomo · March 23, 2003 · Passover

Question

Why is lettuce OK for maror? It is not bitter.

Answer

Answered by Aaron Abadi

That is the choice of the Talmud. Bitter is overrated. It is bitter compared to carrots. If they wanted bitter in the way we interpret it today, they would probably have chosen Jalapeno peppers. AA
