It has been said that there are more commentaries on the Haggadah than on any other book. True. And with good reason. The Haggadah tells the story of the birth of the Jewish people, how a nation came into being, as it was drawn from a hostile environment to physical and spiritual freedom.

It was a new creation, no less significant than the very creation of heaven and earth, for the Exodus from Egypt was the birth of the nation that would fulfill the purpose of the universe.

This work presents a collection of ideas and interpretations of the Haggadah. It runs the gamut of the famous and the lesser known commentators. Their ideas are interesting and inspiring, provocative and stimulating, profound and scintillating.

The book first appeared in Hebrew and was an instant success. It is especially appealing and useful to participants at a Seder who are always in need of “something to say.” On a night when “the more one tells about the Exodus, the more he is praiseworthy,” this is the Haggadah for praiseworthy people. The anthologizer is a well-known scholar, author, and teacher, with the proven knack for selecting the best and presenting it exceptionally well.

This is a book that deserves to be on everyone’s Seder table, and it will enhance it immeasurably.
