The Magic Passover Plate

by Stephanie Stern

We all know that on a Passover plate there are eight items, which include haroset, shank bone, hard-boiled egg, matzos, parsley, salt water, and an orange. The plate is the same every year. Right? Wrong. The plate has the same items on it every year. Right? Wrong.

One year, our Passover plate became magic! It all started on Saturday at my Grandma's house. Everything was just the way it was every year.

We were about to start the Seder when I heard someone whispering to me. It was coming from the kitchen. I ran there quickly. It was the Passover plate!

It said, "Do not tell anyone this, but this year when Grandma breaks the matzos in half, something wonderful will happen!"

"Tell me what it is!" I cried.

The plate told me he couldn't and that it's a surprise.

Grandma came in and laughed, "Stop talking to the Passover plate! I have to take it to the table." The plate winked at me.

I couldn't wait for Grandma to break the matzos! I was practically jumping in my seat while we were saying the prayers.

Then she broke the matzos. I held my breath. CRACK, SHATTER, SPRINKLE! Glitter fluttered out when she broke it. It swirled around and made a huge Passover plate. Then it fell on the table.

I smiled at the plate and the plate smiled back at me. It was the BEST night ever!
