Haggadah shel Pesach – B’Damayich Chayi
Book • 2026
Rabbi Yehoshua Forgy's Haggadah provides a chapter-by-chapter, text-centered exploration of the Maggid and broader Haggadah material to illuminate Jewish identity and chosenness.
Prompted by contemporary events, the work reads classical Midrashim and Rishonim alongside modern concerns about antisemitism, arguing that Pesach uniquely frames Israel’s national birth and distinctiveness.
The author engages serious textual methodology—asking kashyos and drawing on sources like Ma'aranal, Ramchal, and Nesivos—to extract thematic insights.
The book emphasizes how specific Haggadah passages reflect historical patterns of othering and divine protection that mark Am Yisrael as a chosen people.
It is aimed at readers who want a rigorous, source-based study of the Haggadah rather than a short, popular explanation for Seder use.
