Rabbi Yehoshua Forgy

Rabbi Yehoshua Forgy, a rabbi and author of a new Haggadah, explores chosenness, antisemitism, and Jewish identity. He discusses how October 7 spurred the project and rethinks Jewish place in exile. He treats Pesach as national birth and reads the Haggadah with close textual methods. Themes include communal belonging, the Rasha, Vayareo sanu as early conspiracy, and the plagues as divine protection.
