What’s said in this shiur
The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mordechai Becher’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.
[Music] Pesa the seder is an amazing event it is probably the oldest continuously observed ritual in the world in which Jews have been observing this for thousands of years all over the world if you look at Hagia dot there are hugga dot literally from all over the world every single community and you can look at the illustrations of the Hagia dot and you can see Jews in Italy observing it in the 17th century you can see a Haggadah from Pune in India translated into maharat II the Indian dialect of Pune you can see how gadot printed in Spain in the early 15th century before the expulsion you can see pictures I saw one Spanish Haggadah 1400s in which there's a picture of a lady with a broom sweeping the ceiling nothing has changed whatsoever so it is pretty amazing but I think if we would ask most people what is the central the central message of yet see up mitzrayim of the exodus what is the central message of the Haggadah I think we'd probably have a lot of different views some people would say it's about freedom some people would say it's about Liberty from oppression the overthrowing of the bourgeoisie by the proletariat if Karl Marx was reading the Haggadah we would have different opinions about this it's interesting there's a few hints as to what one of the main messages I think probably the main message of the exodus is about first of all we know that when God introduced himself to the Jewish people
