If you wanted to tell the story of the Exodus from Egypt, you probably wouldn’t write a book like the Passover Haggadah that has been passed down through the ages. But when we read the original rabbinic instructions from late antiquity for the first evening of our Festival of Freedom, the inherited Haggadah comes into focus—guiding us, step by step, to create our own.
By following the most ancient precepts for the Passover celebration, we may find ourselves hosting the most innovative, relevant, and forward-looking seders of our lives!
Rabbi Dr. Jonah C. Steinberg was born in Canada and raised in Toronto and in Vienna, Austria. He received his BA at Brown University and his MA, MPhil, and Ph.D. degrees at Columbia University and he taught Talmud and rabbinic thought at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies, and the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, before serving on the founding faculty and as Associate Dean of the Rabbinical School of Hebrew College. Rabbi Jonah directed Hillel at Harvard for 12 years, and returned this past year to serve as an advisor in the Office of the President at Harvard on issues of campus coexistence. He has received the New Scholar Award from The Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion and has published articles, blog posts, and podcasts exploring rabbinic sources and traditions and how this legacy can inspire us today.
