You shall tell your children. |
| Резюме: |
Passover is among the most widely observed holidays for American Jews. During this festival of redemption, Jewish families retell the biblical story of Exodus using a ritual book known as a haggadah, often weaving modern tales of oppression through the biblical narrative. References to the Holocaust are some of the most common additions to contemporary haggadot.

Is it possible to find any redemptive meaning in the Nazi genocide? Are we adding value. |
