#Seder

("to leap over" part 1)

Does #Karpas mean "fabric" or "green vegetable"?

The word #Karpas in Hebrew has a dual meaning. In #Biblical #Hebrew Karpas means "of a soft colored fabric" at the same time it could also be translated as "a green vegetable".

How does this connect a to #Seder?

#Rashi explaining the special coat of #Yoseph was made of Karpas, "soft colored fabric". When Yaakov gave Yoseph his special coat, Yoseph's brothers became jealous. This led to the brothers selling Yoseph into slavery in Egypt.

So in essence we eat Karpas, as a cognitive tool reminding us the process of how we arrived in Egypt to start with .which was(Living in Egypt)the beginning of the mental slavery/bondage according to the sages.

Utilizing "the #Seder & 8 days of positivity" to transform ourselves(negative attributes into a positive ones)one must 1st start reflecting at the seed level(beginning. Childhood?)of their(internal conflicts)negativity = message of Karpas 

                                                   I said, start reflecting!
