| There can be no Answer without a Question. So opens the Malbim Haggadah. With over 300 pages, it contains a Traditional Right to Left haggadah, compiled by Rabbi Taub of Mercaz ha Torah and Ohr Yerushalayim in Israel. It is a straightforward reading of the seder text with analysis. Also known as the Medrash Haggadah. The book opens with an overview analysis essay (Maama Yesod Musad) from 1894 of the "secret structure" of the seder. It is a good addition to anyone's collection of haggadahs, and is a good reference for the seder leader or anyone who wishes to expound upon the ideas presented during the seder. It includes the Hebrew seder, with an English translation. Most of the pages are filled with pshat commentaries on the words and ideas of the seder paragraphs. For example, The FOUR QUESTIONS are in Hebrew, and faced with an English translation, and surrounded by seven pages of commentary on them. |
