Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, the illustrious Torah scholar and leader of
19th century German Jewry, wrote profound, incisive commentaries on
Chumash, Tehillim, and the Siddur – the very elements which comprise the
Haggadah text. His keen insights decode cryptic verses of Tanach and
render the Sages’ often-enigmatic words clear and comprehensible. These
enlightening commentaries, along with some of Hirsch’s most brilliant
essays on Pesach themes and on the fundamentals of Judaism, are
presented here in English, and adapted for the modern reader. His
exquisite imagery, his love of symmetry and his emotional intensity
combine to make The Hirsch Haggadah a book to study, savor and cherish,
not only on Pesach but all year ’round.
