On Pesach, at the Seder, we are required to eat a festive meal, named Shulchan Orech. It is the tenth order of the Seder [1]
General
- We are obligated to eat a festive meal with delicious foods and fancy dishes like on every other Yom Tov night, each according to his means. [2]
- One must ensure not to eat or drink too much during the meal, as Halacha requires eating the Afikoman after the meal with an appetite and also he may come to fall asleep too quickly [3]
Leaning
- Though it isn’t obligatory, one who leans during the entire meal is praiseworthy. [4]
- If one chooses to eat while reclining he should certainly be careful not to talk because of the danger, unless it is about Yetziat Mitzrayim, in which case the Mitzvah will protect from harm. [5]
Talking
- Though strictly speaking one only needs to refrain from speaking about things unrelated to the mitzvot of the seder themselves, there is a midat chasidut not to engage in such conversation until after afikoman [6]
Minhagim About Certain Foods
Egg
- There is a Minhag to eat a hard boiled (or roasted) egg during Shulchan Orech. [7] This is the sephardic minhag as well. [8] This applies during the second seder as well. [9] However, since this is just a custom and not an obligation, one should be careful to leave room so that he has an appetite for the afikoman which is an important obligation. [10]
Fish
- There's a Minhag to eat fish at the Seder like other Yamim Tovim.[11]
Dipping
- Some have Minhag not to dip any foods during Shulchan Orech so as not to dip more than two foods at the Seder (Karpas and Maror).[12]
Wine
- It is permitted to drink wine during Shulchan Orech.[13]
Avoiding Roasted Foods at the Seder
- The Minhag is not to eat roasted meat at the Seder. [14]
- If the Zroah (shankbone) was roasted it is forbidden to eat it at the Seder. However, if the Zroah was cooked in another way it may be eaten. [15]
- It is permitted to eat a roasted egg[16] as well as roasted fish. [17] since they do not require shechita.
- Pot roasting is considered as ordinary roasting for this Halacha. However, a food that was cooked after it was roasted is not considered roasted.[18]
- Broiled liver shouldn't be eaten.[19]
