KOS ELIYAHU - Insights on the Haggada and Pesach
Rabbi Eliyahu Safran
Hailed as a volume that "will definitely enhance the spiritual and intellectual celebration of Pesach," KOS ELIYAHU - Insights on the Haggadah and Pesach by Rabbi Eliyahu Safran, is a volume geared to add insight and depth to both the celebration of the Passover Seder as well as the observance of the Pesach holiday. The volume's 31 essays illuminate every aspect of the Pesach festival, giving each detail of its ritual a meaning both timeless and timely. And since Passover symbolizes the two great themes of exile and redemption, which resonate even more strongly in our time than in generations past, Kos Eliyahu provides the reader as well with a prism through which to view the events of our time.
The more than 30 essays focus on the main themes of the Seder including: A New Look at the Four Sons, A Reader's Digest of the Ten Plagues, Freedom of Body /Freedom of Soul, Dayeinu - Every Taker Must Become A Giver, Matzah - Single or Double Layer? God's Lights are Always Shining.
Among the essays analyzing the unique significance of the holiday itself, the reader will find: Pesach - A Study in Contrasts, Growing Pains - Positive Lessons of Galut, The More Refined Melody: Geula and Galut.
"The book motivates the reader to seek newness of approach and style in the essential element of 'telling' the Exodus story."
In the book's introduction, Rabbi Safran writes that "silence is a great virtue, except on the night of Pesach. The very name Pesach refers to a conversant mouth. The matzoh, also known as the Lechem Oni, the poor man's bread, is seen not simply as a food consumed when leaving Egypt, but as the vehicle for discussion and elaboration of the Pesach themes." Kos Eliyahu has indeed become a "vehicle for extensive Pesach discussion and analysis around many Pesach tables and homes."
Published by KTAV in 1993, it was republished in 2003. Two years ago Kos Eliyahu was translated into Hebrew and published by Mosad HaRav Kook in Jerusalem.
