Dayyenu: The Shabbat Morning Series

All are invited to the 2nd of a two-part deep dive into Dayyenu with Jay Rovner this Shabbat, March 29 at 9:45 a.m., after the early minyan kiddush in the Downstairs Social Hall. During this series, we will investigate the Seder song Dayyenu, the development of its two versions, and what dayyenu means.

Part 2, March 29: The second session identifies the classical sources that inspired Dayyenu and compares it with the adjacent Haggadah passage contrasting the Plagues with the punishments at the Reed Sea. And a new topic: Making Friends with the Midrash: Mysteries of Arami Oved Avi Revealed: Or What to Expect When you are Expecting a Haggadah Midrash
