About This Text

Author: Jonathan Sacks
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks wrote the Jonathan Sacks Haggadah during his tenure as chief rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of the Commonwealth in the United Kingdom. It includes English translations of the haggadah texts, Rabbi Sacks’s commentary, and essays on the themes and motifs of the holiday. Topics in the essays range from the contrasting natures of ancient Egypt and nascent Israel to the role of women in the Exodus. A recurring theme in the essays is the role of Jews and Judaism in building modern civilization.
