The Jewish Story Season 4: An Interview with Mark Gerson

Introduction

The Jewish Story Season 4

Episode 30: An Interview with Mark Gerson

Telling the story of the Exodus is something so simple that we do it every year, and so complicated that we never get it quite right. With all the effort we put into preparation for a kosher Pesach, it is worth dusting off the Haggadah a couple of weeks early in or to prepare for an awesome Seder. Author Mark Gerson joins me to discuss his new book about the Haggadah and how we can best access its energy and wisdom.
