<div dir="ltr">moved from areivim<br><br><<I quoted from R. Meidan that the basis of the hagada is applications<br>to each generation and not a history lesson<br><br>Yosef Skolnick responded.<br><br>Sorry while that is a wonderful idea, I can't really see it coming from this<br>
idea/concept. It says kiilu hu yatza meimitzraim. Nothing about<br>
comparisons. I humbly submit that it is a lesson in the power of imagery.>><br><br>I later saw similar ideas in the hagada Exalted Evening based on shiurim of RYBS.<br><br>On "bchol dor vedor" he says<br>
Li-reot means to experience to feel to re-experience the slavery and Exodus<br>It should not be an ancient event lying in the dawn of history and having no relevance to us.<br>I am to re-experience. Memory in Judaism means not just to remember tecnically but to<br>
relive the event<br><br>On the 5 sages in Bnei Brak he brings the Maggidim that connect it to the Bar Kochba revolt.<br>it was not only the story of the past ...;it was the story of the present and what was going to happen tomorrow. The study of the Exodus was supposed to guide them in their revolt...<br>
They studies Yetziat Mitzrayim not only as an event of the past but also as a clue<br>and a key to the future.<br>...<br>They spoke of the Exodus "the whole night" not only the night of Passover but also the<br>
great night of the Galut, of Jewish exile.<br>...<br>If a man leaves his fate to the principles of blind mechanical causality and circumstantial<br>determination he can never attain salvation and redemption.<br><br>Rav Meidan also interpreted the long night as the exile and expanded on passages in<br>
Yoel and about Chezkiyau demonstrating that the leeson of the exodus was used<br>in all generations to address contemporaneous problems.<br>
