* '''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, as does [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/m/halacha.aspx?id=1411 Dailyhalacha] by Rabbi Eli Mansour. </ref> Some say not to dip the Korech in Charoset at all. <ref>Rama 475:1. 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. Even then, however, one should eat at least a small quantity of [[Matza]] and [[Maror]] with Charoset <ref> Chazon Ovadia – Laws of [[Pesach]], pg. 101, Seder Hearuch pg. 528, [http://www.dailyhalacha.com/m/halacha.aspx?id=1411 Dailyhalacha] by Rabbi Eli Mansour. </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.

# Sephardim should say the words “Zecher LeMikdash KeHillel." <Ref>S”A 475:1, Chazon Ovadia [[Pesach]] 5763 pg. 100, Darchei Moshe 475:3 quoting the Maharil. Beiur Halacha 475:1 s.v. VeOmer asks on the source for this practice, and says that perhaps there’s no reason. He also wonders why this is not considered a break, which the Shulchan Aruch says one shouldn't have between the Hamotzi before the first [[Matzah]] eating and the Korech. He gives two potential answers to this. According to the first answer, really the Shulchan Aruch wasn't careful with the order he put it in, and one should really eat and then say it. The second answer is that we should change the language of the Shulchan Aruch and you're not really supposed to say it at all. He leaves both questions unresolved.

However, Sh”t Yechave Daat 1:19 and Sh”t Chazon Ovadyah 1:41 writes that this is the proper practice. Seder Hearuch pg. 528 and Piskei Teshuvot 475:6 say that even ashkenazim have the minhag to say it against the MB. Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik quoted in Harirei Kedem 2:93 explains that really Korech isn't part of the obligations of [[Matzah]] and [[Maror]] but is just an independent expression of remembering the temple and there would then be no problem of a break. He says though, that Rav Chaim Soloveitchik would not interrupt between Motzi [[Matzah]] and the [[Matzah]] of Afikoman in accordance with the ruling of the Shl"a. [http://koltorah.org/ravj/ZecherLemikdashKehillel.htm Rabbi Chaim Jachter] says that Rav Soloveitchik would recite it after eating Korech. </ref> Ashkenazim should say זֵכֶר לְמִקְדָּשׁ כְּהִלֵּל. כֵּן עָשָׂה הִלֵּל בִּזְמַן שבֵּית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ הָיָה קַיָים: הָיָה כּוֹרֵךְ מַצָּה וּמָרוֹר וְאוֹכֵל בְּיַחַד <ref>Mishna Brurah 475:21, Shulchan Aruch Harav 475:18. </ref> | ||
