afikoman
Afikoman (Hebrew language: אפיקומן, based on Greek, ''epikomen'' or ''epikomion'' (Κομός ), meaning "that which comes after" or "dessert") is a half-piece of matzo which is broken in two during the early stages of the Passover Seder and set aside to be eaten as a dessert after the meal.
Based on the Mishnah in Pesahim 119a, the ''afikoman'' is a substitute for the ''Korban Pesach'', which was the last thing eaten at the Passover Seder during the eras of the First and Second Temples and during the period of the Mishkan. The Talmud states that it is forbidden to have "afikoman" after eating the meal, so that the taste of matzo remains in our mouths.
In some families, the head of the household hides the ''afikoman'' for the children to find, and rewards them with money or candy. In other families, the children "steal" the ''afikoman'' and ask for a reward for its return. Either way, the ''afikoman'' has become a device for keeping children awake and alert during the Seder proceedings, until the time it is needed for dessert.
==Procedure==
The ''afikoman'' is prepared during the fourth part of the Seder, ''Yachatz''. During this ritual, the leader of the Seder takes the middle piece of matzo out from the stack of three whole matzot on the Seder table. He breaks the matzo in two, returning the smaller piece to the stack and putting aside the larger piece to be eaten later during ''Tzafun'' ("Hidden", the twelfth part of the Seder, which immediately follows the main meal). This is the ''afikoman'', which is wrapped in a napkin before being hidden.
