2: Another winner for the Chief Rabbi
This haggadah--the outline used at the special ceremonial meals marked each of the first two nights of Passover (one night only in Israel)--is relete with explanations of the rituals, historical insights and the uniquely mellifluous and felicitous style that marks all of the Chief Rabbi's written work. Traditionalists are sure to discover innovative perspectives while the newcomer will be drawn to Rabbi Sacks' easy transitions from classical Jewish commentary to modern literature, philosophy and current events. Complete with the traditional Hebrew and Aramaic text and an accesible English translation, Rabbi Sacks' Haggadah is complemented by nearly two dozen compact essays which develop the meaning behind the Seder, and its role in transmitting Jeweish values across the generational divide.
