Freedom for Whom? With Rabbi Eliezer Diamond

Part of Our Series “The ‘Other’ in Jewish Text and Tradition”

March 22, 2021, 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET

First and foremost, the traditional Haggadah celebrates our liberation from Egypt. At the same time, it reflects our experience of oppression over the course of many centuries. It is therefore a plea to be redeemed anew that reflects and potentially re-enforces an adversarial relationship with the non-Jewish world. In our own time the Jews of the United States and Israel enjoy unprecedented freedom. How do we honor the voice of tradition while also including the modern voices seeking liberation for all?
