Festival Of Freedom: Essays On Pesach

In these 10 essays, Rabbi Soloveitchik explains how the seder teaches us about the Jewish approach to the meal, Torah study, and the nature of freedom. In examining the various themes, Soloveitchik discusses nuances in the biblical and rabbinic texts associated with Passover and presents a philosophical analysis of the nature of the Jewish community and its religious experiences. The editors of this book selected material from Soloveitchik's manuscripts from surviving tapes of lectures given in Boston and New York. These essays give new meaning to a historic ritual.
