Do a research on Sephardic and Mizrahi customs regarding the seder plate. Then explain are there any notable differences in either food or symbolism?

Hahn Tapper (2016)

Since chapter 1 of of the Hahn Tapper (2016) textbook opens and closes with the author’s memory of a Passover Seder, let’s look at the seder plate and its symbolism.

Here is a brief explanation (with video!) from MyJewishLearning.com.

While reflecting on the symbolism of the plate and its foods, do a little informal research on Sephardic and Mizrahi customs regarding the seder plate. Are there any notable differences in either food or symbolism? What accounts for the similarities? The differences?

Now, look at these modern additions to the seder plate. Which one stands out to you the most and why? How does (or doesn’t) it fit with the theme of the holiday? What do these additions suggest about Judaism in the modern age?
