1Nirtza means “parting,” and with this passage we reach the concluding section. We pray that next year we may be able to celebrate Pesaḥ in a rebuilt Temple according to the original biblical rituals (which we can no longer fulfil). This passage is taken from a liturgical poem (kerova) composed by Rabbi Joseph Tov Elem in the eleventh century CE. Originally, it was said in the synagogue on Shabbat HaGadol, the Shabbat preceding Pesaḥ, to conclude a detailing of the laws of Pesaḥ. It was transferred to the Haggada in the fourteenth century.
