Tonight is the 1st night of #Passover. We dip parsley (Karpas) in salt water to recognize the spring time. Salt water symbolizes the tears and sweat of enslavement. As we hold Seders, remember the farm workers who are out in the fields harvesting the food we’re eating. #WeFeedYou

Esta noche es la primera noche de Pésaj. Mojamos perejil (Karpas) en agua salada para celebrar la primavera. El agua salada simboliza las lágrimas y el sudor de la esclavitud. Al celebrar el Séder, recordemos a los campesinos que están en los campos cosechando los alimentos que comemos. #SoyEsencial
