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.

Makat bechorot, the killing of the first born across Egypt, was what finally got Pharaoh to open the gates of Mitzrayim to B’nei Yisrael. Join Ilana Goldstein Saks and explore Rashi’s unique understanding of the event and it’s connection to the korban Pesach.

“Eliyahu, come on in!” What’s the origin of the idea that Eliyahu the Prophet shows up at every Seder around the time of Barech? And is that really why we pour an extra cup of wine and open the door? Join Rabbi Uri Cohen in exploring the development of a popular tradition.

When it comes to the Haggadah read on Seder Night, Maggid is the longest section encompassing many important and inspiring depths and wonders about Yetziat Mitzrayim. Join Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Brovender as he explores telling the Passover story, as presented in the Haggadah.

This week we will discuss various aggadic and halachic topics, including the dangers of scoffing at Torah, the fate of different biblical figures in the World to Come, and stories about the downfall of wicked individuals like Nebuchadnezzar and Bilaam. The Gemara explores the tension between divine justice and mercy, illustrating how even great scholars can be led astray by arrogance or improper influence. The section also includes vivid narratives about the power of repentance, the consequences of sin, and the ultimate redemption of Israel.

Tzafun, in many ways, ties the start of the Seder to it’s end. Join Rabbanit Dr. Tamara Spitz as she explores how the bread of affliction is truly that which brings hope and the ultimate redemption.

The Maxwell House Haggadah is the most popular haggadah in history, with over 60 million printed, and another million copies every year. For Americans, it is the epitome of what a haggadah should be.

So how did a Tennessee coffee company come to produce the greatest haggadah of all time?

In this class I answer these questions and more:

How did Maxwell House coffee come to be associated with a Haggadah?

How has the Maxwell House Haggadah changed over the years?

How do different editions of the Maxwell House Haggadah reflect the changing dynamic in American Jewry?

We will look further into the patterns and paradigms of Maggid,  the recitation of the Haggada on Leil haSeder.  We have seen many allusions to the ideas of contraction and expansion in the story of the Jewish people, and its significance for the individual.  Tonight we will look for the allusions that lead us to the Unity, the receiving the Torah and becoming a nation.  Surprises are always on the way.

Most of us eagerly await Shulchan Orech, but what is it we’re waiting for? Join Mrs. Sarah Rudolph explore everyone’s favorite part of the Pesach seder and see what makes this meal different from all other meals.
