Abstract

Haggadah shel pesach is perhaps the most well-read and popular Jewish text. The reasons for its popularity are many: the haggadah is short, it is recited in homes in the celebration of pesach and therefore the text was needed in every home. Often two versions of the haggadah are needed&&one in Hebrew and one in the local language spoken by the people. This popular text resulted in a rich tradition of explanations and interpretations on the exodus from Egypt and the meaning of this event in Jewish history.
