You can print it or follow on the screen. We will be skipping a bit but i will give page numbers so please make sure you have a copy of the same Haggadah we are using.

- Maror - Horseradish (if you can't find horseradish, try substituting with lemon peel).
- Karpas - Parsley or celery, or potato If you can't find it anything that you bless adamah (fruits of the ground) on will do.
- Bitter herbs - lettuce is traditional, or horseradish root.
- Charoset - traditionally is made of wine apples walnuts raisins etc. The idea is that it is sweet and looks sort of like mortar. Most of us don't have the ingredients for this at home. so alternatives could be Nutella, or peanut butter with jelly, or any other gooey and sweet thing you can think of.
- Egg and Shankbone - If you don't have these, its not that important. Really only the person leading the seder needs to have one, so you will be all set because Rabbi Eliana's got it covered. Some people replace the shank bone with a chicken drumstick, or bone or a roasted carrot or beet.
You should also have for the table:
- Matzah - Ideally 3 Matzot (you can make your own matzahif you have flour and water. its not very tasty but its the most accurate kind. Here is how: https://pjlibrary.org/beyond-books/pjblog/april-2019/how-to-make-your-own-matzah)
- Salt water. Here is how to make: Boil water and add salt, let sit and cool off. Add enough salt until to make it noticeably salty, but it doesn't have to be the saltiest thing ever.
- Wine or grape juice. If you don't have it make herbal tea and sweeten it a whole lot and let it cool.
- Cooked potato (to use it instead of parsley to eat with the salt water - blame it on the rabbi's family coming from Poland)
- Elijah's cup
- Afikoman cover (this can be a regular napkin)
Optional for the table:
- if you have the custom of a Miriam's cup, an orange olive, or anything additional on the seder plate, please feel free to add it!
- If you can't be at a table try to set up the things above next to you. If you are in a work space, perhaps throw a table cloth over the clutter to make it feel more like a holiday space.
- If you are bringing a laptop of tablet to the dining table, go wild. Set up as festively or as alternatively as you feel like.
