The Eybeshitz Hagaddah: Experiencing Redemption First Ever English Translation of Work of Scholar Rav Yehonatan Eybeshitz "This is a book not only for the Seder table .but for study and perusal all the days of the year. The difficult is made understandable and the obtuse is clarified in this work. I highly recommend it." Rabbi Berel Wein " [this] translation is a marked contribution to Agadic-Hagadic literature." Rabbi Dovid Cohen This Passover readers will be pleased to find that in the new Eybeshitz Hagaddah (Devora Publishing, March 2008), Rabbi Yehonatan Eybeshitz's unique works and his complex words of Torah are arranged in an organized fashion, making them accessible and understandable. Author Rabbi Shalom Hammer also includes his own additional, timely and insightful commentaries that reveal new insights to share around the Seder table while inviting the reader to "experience the redemption" of Passover. Rabbi Yehonatan Eybeshitz was known for his brilliance and outstanding genius in Torah as well as his worldly knowledge in science and philosophy. This was exhibited as he led the Jewish community of Hamburg in the eighteenth century and debated religious and philosophical issues with Christian theologians of his time. Rav Yehonatan was a prolific writer and master teacher and this is the first time that his works have been translated into English. Rav Yehonatan was also a master Kabbalist and subject of much debate as is any genius of a generation. The posthumous printing of so many of his works is testimony to the profound influence his oral teachings and character had on his contemporaries. Readers will delve into the Torah thoughts of Rav Eybeshitz and appreciate this master's ability to intertwine all disciplines of Torah study and connect them in an understandable fashion. This translation will benefit those who have a strong background in Torah learning as well as those who are looking for refreshing and innovative thoughts to share at the Pesach Seder. Readers will experience redemption in a unique and personal way through the teachings of one the greatest minds the Jewish people have ever known! About the Author: Rabbi Shalom Hammer has lived in Israel for over 18 years, served as a Rabbi in the United States as well as for the IDF.
