- Title
Democracy and The New Haggadah.
- Authors
Moore, Deborah Dash
- Abstract
The essay discusses the ways in which "The New Haggadah," a reworking of the Jewish Haggadah, a text closely associated with the rituals of the holiday of Passover, by U.S. Rabbi Mordecai M. Kaplan reflected support for Jewish freedom, nationhood, and worldwide democracy. The text was also largely written in response to the onset of the Holocaust in Europe. It was targeted towards American Jews and connected Judaism with democratic freedom.
