This teach-in, led by Suzanne Schneider, will explore the centrality of storytelling within the Seder experience, drawing on both traditional and more contemporary voices: from the text of the Haggadah and classic rabbinic commentaries to philosophical reflections by Walter Benjamin, Yosef Haim Yerushalmi, and Susan Buck-Morss. After a brief introductory lecture, participants will discuss chavruta style (in pairs), before reconvening for a collective discussion.

Presented in collaboration with

The Brooklyn Institute for Social Research
