Haggadah of the Sages

The Passover Haggadah is a concise expression of the entire world of Judaism, containing all its principal elements. It reflects the faith, hopes and longing for redemption of the Jewish people, and it identifies with the historical experience: “Every generation should see itself as having come out of Egypt.”

This Haggadah is presented in the spirit that the Sages wrote it. It is divided into two parts: the authors (father and son) begin with a long commentary, divided into sections. This is followed by a short commentary that accompanies the Haggadah itself. The reader of the short commentary who wants to learn about the origin and early history of the text will find them in the long commentary on the same passage.
