Not Just Exodus: Hebrew Sources in the Seder

Hosted By: Orot Center for New Jewish Learning

Have you ever wondered about the story behind the story of the Pesach Seder and the Haggadah? How did a group of Rabbis in Lod re-fashion the narratives of the Torah to create this ritual? What spiritual ideas do they hold?

In this advanced-level 4-part class, we will have a chance to explore four texts that sit behind the curtain of the Haggadah. This class is designed for people who want to study the text text in Hebrew.

The fee is for the series. The classes meet at 12 p.m. GMT/ 7 a.m. ET
