9. A favorite tradition among Ashkenazic Jews at the Pesach / Passover Seder meal is to "hide" a piece of matzah called the Afikomen or Afikoman. Afikomen is a word derived either from "epikoman" in Greek, meaning "after-dish", referring to dessert, or from the Aramaic word for "dessert". The Afikomen is "hidden" at a specific point in the Seder and then later on in the Seder, it is searched for by the children, (hopefully) found, and then "held" for ransom in exchange for a small gift.
Question 9 True 
False 
No Answer
10. Ashkenazic Jews (Jews whose ancestors came from Central and/or Eastern Europe) traditionally do not hide any food item during the Pesach / Passover. Like most Sephardic Jews (Jews whose ancestors came from Spain and/or Portugal), and Mizrahi Jews (Jews whose ancestors came from the Middle East, and Asia in general) Ashkenazic Jews will not perform any "hiding, finding, and ransoming the Afikomen" ritual at the Passover Seder table.
