Telling the Story
The central portion of the Haggadah is Maggid, where the story of the Exodus is presented, providing the broad scope of the story–from wanderings to slavery to freedom.
Texts
The Telling (David Hoffman): Finding personal context in the maggid verses from Deuteronomy
The Meaning of Pesah (Matthew Berkowitz): The importance of compassion in the haggadah
Empathy for the Other (Ismar Schorsch): “Hatred for past injustices did not overwhelm the pages of the Haggadah, obliterating all other values and sentiments.”
