The story of the Exodus is told in the plural, a fact that reflects deep truths not only about peoplehood, but about freedom itself. This Pesach, join Rachel Sharansky Danziger as she explores how the Book of Exodus, the Seder, and The Az Nashir Haggadah: On the Path to Redemption (Matan Edition) reveal that freedom is more than a mass movement; it is a shared project shaped by many perspectives.

Together, we will consider how the polyphonic nature of the Haggadah reflects a profound reality: redemption is a path no one walks alone.

Like Maharal’s forensic examination of the words of Chazal across Tanach, his profound ideas that he derives from the words of the Great Sages likewise shows through in the story of Yetziat Mitzrayim as he explains the surprising meaning of לַחְמָא עַנְיָא: why there are four children – not more or less; and why there are 15 stages in דַּיֵּנוּ.

Rabbi Saadia Gaon’s sefer Emunot V’Deot (Book of Beliefs and Opinions) innovated the genre of Jewish philosophy. Long before Rabbi Yehuda HaLevi and the Rambam, R. Saadia paved the road for viewing Jewish principles through a lens of classic Greek philosophy, the science of his time, and is justifiably where Jewish philosophy begins. Join ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Rabbi Daniel Korobkin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ as he explores this important, monumental work, tracing the differences in approach between R. Saadia and those who came after him.

This week we will learn about the prohibition of chametz in grain offerings, examining when dough becomes halachically leavened and which processes (kneading, arranging, baking) would invalidate a korban if leaven occurs. The Gemara will expand the discussion to general rules governing what may be offered on the altar, including the prohibition of offering leaven or honey on the mizbeach.
