what is the significance of pickled cucumber during passover?

Question

my local Tesco extra (which is huge!!) has devoted almost an entire area in its "passover" section to picked cucumber!!....
why?

Answer 1

There is no particular significance to pickled cucumbers on Passover whatsoever.

That having been said, there is indeed significance to having something sour on this holiday. Perhaps not many people are aware of the fact that the Karaites misinterpreted the Hebrew word for leaven (hametz) and thought it meant that they must refrain from eating sour foods during this festival.

To show that we are not Karaites and do not misunderstand the commandments, we DO eat a sour food. This is often borscht, but it could just as well be a sour pickle.

Answer 2

Pickles and cucumbers are comparable and diverse on the comparable time XD. i like pickles extra suitable. I undergo in ideas whilst i became little i presumed that pickles have been a very diverse vegetable than cucumbers, lol.

Answer 3

It doesn't stand for anything. It's a yummy food that is prepared so it can be eaten on Passover.

Answer 4

It means the passover it is Easter coming up but i don't buy many i just remember not to be to greedy an there is another meaning out there .

Answer 5

From what I know, a pickled cucumber might stand for either spring greens (such as lettuce, parsley), symbolizing the newness and rebirth of spring, or bitter herbs (such as horseradish), symbolizing the bitterness of slavery in Egypt. (To me, though, a pickled cucumber is more sour than bitter.)

Answer 6

Bitterness of the exile of the Jews - it's placed on a sedar plate along with other herbs, spices, plants, n stuff. Each has a special meaning.

Answer 7

It is not used for the holiday for any particular reason. It is used just as a delicacy as any other food would be used to enhance your meal.
