The vegetables that we now eat are a symbol of the arrival of spring. We dip them in salt water, a reminder of the tears our ancestors shed during the years of slavery and oppression in Egypt.

בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יי אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם, בּוֹרֵא פְּרִי הָאֲדָמָה

Praised are you Adonai, Sovereign of the Universe who creates the fruit of the earth.
