The final image of Bitter Herb and a group of young MatZebras evokes the imagery of a Seder plate. The Web site also offers a host of related activities.

The idea is to create a tradition in the spirit of the American winter holiday season, but as a supplement, not a substitute. Since its launch, the Web site has averaged about 4,000 hits a month. It also was given the Study Web Academic Excellence Award. Both creators are quick to say that their work is a collaboration.
