Description

Pre-Pesach shiur at the Jewish Center. We explore one of the central passages in the Hagadah text, highlighting seeming difficulties that appear in versions of the Hagadah stemming from Babylonia, in contradistinction to those stemming from Eretz Yisrael. Implications for the contemporary Orthodox community are discussed.
