By examining biblical and ancient rabbinic texts as well as medieval versions of the Haggadah, participants in this course will come to appreciate the Haggadah as not simply a rag-tag collection of unclear passages, but rather as a creative text that seeks to tell the Passover story in a uniquely rabbinic way. Six Tuesdays with Dr. Robert Harris.
