Studies on the Haggadah from the teachings of Nechama Leibowitz

"Nechama Leibowitz (1905-97) was among the outstanding Torah scholars and teachers of our generation." "Nechama's approach is based on the principle of active learning. The cornerstone of her methodology is the presentation of questions on the Biblical text and relevant commentaries that require the learner to independently analyze and draw conclusions." "Nechama's approach to Torah study is thus very compatible with the methodology reflected in the Haggadah. As such, it is helpful and challenging to apply Nechama's work to the Pesach Seder. This Haggadah collects questions relating to the Seder from Nechama's Gilyonot and other writings, and organizes them according to the text of the Haggadah. It includes questions and suggested answers on the text of the Haggadah itself as well as the Biblical verses upon which the Haggadah is based." "The purpose of this Haggadah is to enable individuals and families to engage in a meaningful study of the story of the Exodus from Egypt before, during, and after the Seder night experience."--BOOK JACKET.
