The Schechter Haggadah: Art, History and Commentary
This wonderful resource provides all the sources of the Haggadah from the Bible, Talmud and Midrash. Page by page, the history and development of the Seder unfold before one's eyes. Kulp's lucid commentary brilliantly explains, in an historical context, the development of each of the Seder's parts. --Prof. Jeffrey L. RubensteinThe Schechter Haggadah provides an account of the historical development of the seder's liturgy over the past 2000 years. In a clear fashion, Joshua Kulp demonstrates how the seder is likely to have been performed when it first developed, in the talmudic period, and how it evolved into the set of rituals and texts we recognize today. His insightful, scholarly commentary will give readers much new and engaging material to discuss at their own seders. --Prof. Judith HauptmanThe modern Seder is a direct descendant of the innovations of the Talmudic era. However, without a trustworthy guide to the Haggadah, that complex world is a closed book. In The Schechter Haggadah, Joshua Kulp facilitates our understanding of the many recent discoveries and hypotheses about the origins of the Haggadah. An excellent resource for any student of Rabbinic creativity. --Noam Zion, author of A Different Night HaggadahThe Schechter Haggadah provides an account of the historical development of the seder's liturgy over the past 2000 years.
