The Haggadah. It’s our story. Let's make sure we tell it well.
Seder night commemorates the greatest true story of all time —
the night when Hashem, in His splendor, came down Himself, personally,
to liberate His People, the Jews. It is the night of our miracles and our liberation.
It's the night of our stories.
Rabbi Yechiel Spero — acclaimed educator, erudite Torah
scholar and, of course, gifted storyteller — tells some of those stories
in this engaging new Haggadah that is certain to enhance our sedarim.
In his many bestselling books, Rabbi Spero does a masterful job of bringing Torah insights to life through unusual stories. Touched by Our Story
includes his wide-ranging, stimulating commentary on the Haggadah and,
of course, Rabbi Spero's trademark true stories. The Four Sons come to
life, in tales like that of the rosh yeshiva who played "jacks" with a
youngster or the gadol ha'dor who insisted a yeshiva change its language
to accommodate two students who genuinely wanted to learn. We hear
what the Klausenberger Rebbe had to say at a seder not long after his
liberation, and are amazed at the connection between the plague of Frogs
and the remarkable survival of two victims of a ghastly terror attack.
Enlightening, engaging and eye-opening, this is a Haggadah that will
ensure a lively, meaningful and enjoyable seder for us, our guests, and —
most important of all — our children, the next generation to tell the
stories.
