* '''Source:''' The Gemara in Pesachim 115a records a dispute about how the Mitzvot of [[Matzah]] and [[Maror]] were fulfilled in the times that the temple stood. Chachamim say each thing was eaten on its own. Hillel held that you should wrap them up together into a sandwich to fulfill the Pasuk in Bamidbar 9:11 ,עַל-מַצּוֹת וּמְרֹרִים, יֹאכְלֻהוּ. Rambam Hilchot Chametz U'[[Matzah]] 8:7-8 brings this down. According to Rashi and Rashbam Pesachim 115a this sandwich included the korban [[Pesach]]. The gemara concludes that since there is no ruling on who we should hold like, the practice is to recite the bracha on [[matza]] and eat the [[matza]], recite the beracha on [[maror]] and eat the [[maror]], and then eat them together without a beracha, as a zecher lamikdash kihillel. Shulchan Aruch 475:1 codifies this.

* '''Shaking off Charoset''': Shulchan Aruch mentions shaking off the Charoset with [[Maror]] but doesn't mention it with korech and this is the opinion that he quotes in Beit Yosef 475 "Vichen Katav" in the name of the Maharil. Mishna Brurah 475:17 quotes the Maamar Mordechai that one should shake it off. Kaf Hachayim 475:32 says if you want to eat the Korech without shaking it off that you can. Yalkut Yosef Moadim pg. 405 agrees. </ref> | * '''Shaking off Charoset''': Shulchan Aruch mentions shaking off the Charoset with [[Maror]] but doesn't mention it with korech and this is the opinion that he quotes in Beit Yosef 475 "Vichen Katav" in the name of the Maharil.

Tur 475 quotes the Raavya 525 that we shouldn't dip the Korech in the Charoset because we already fulfill the obligation to dip when we eat [[Maror]], and the Charoset which is optional nullifies the obligation to fulfill [[Matzah]] and [[Maror]] according to Hillel (This logic is also brought by Rabbeinu Yonah (seder [[pesach]] pg. 274). He adds that dipping here would be adding to the two dippings that we mention is Ma Nishtana. There is also no danger from the [[Maror]] because the [[Matzah]] nullifies the bitterness. Tur 475 quotes the Rosh Pesachim 10:27 that we should dip, and this is the opinion of the Or Zarua 2:256, and Haghot Maimoniyot Hilchot Chametz u'[[Matzah]] 8:7 as well. Mishna Brurah 475:19 writes that most Achronim hold like S”A, but those who have the Minhag should continue the Minhag. Chazon Ovadia 1: pg. 736 rejects the objections quoted in the Tur and concludes that we should dip in Charoset. </ref> If one forgot to dip in charoset, and finds it difficult to repeat, he may be lenient.

Shaagat Aryeh 100 says that according to the Rosh who says that you should only eat a [[Kezayit]] when you say a Bracha, then there would be no need for a [[Kezayit]] here.
