Rabbinic Philosophy and Ethics

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The work is in no sense a complete collection of Haggadoth but an effort has been made to give some of the most interesting legends, interpretations of Scripture, moral and religious parables and historical narratives, which are contained in the Talmud and Midrash. The Haggadah is sui generis. It is unique, not only in the literature of religion, but in the literature of the world. It is the spiritual well the waters of which have quenched the thirst of the Children of Israel during the last two thousand years. It has been at times the only gleam of light amid the cruel darkness of prejudice, persecution and outlawry, which Israel has endured for more than Nineteen Centuries.
