The Telling: How Judaism's Essential Book Reveals the Meaning of Life

Life-changing wisdom from one of Judaism's most powerful texts.

The Haggadah, which can be found in homes around the world, has guided Jewish families and friends through Pesach celebrations for millennia. Fittingly, "Haggadah" is the Hebrew word for "telling" - and Mark Gerson reveals what it tells us: how Jewish teachings, ideas, and principles can help each of us to live a happier, better, and more meaningful life.

The Telling shows how the Haggadah is the great Jewish guidebook for life, ready to help us to ask and answer the eternal questions - questions about miracles, mission, music, good and evil, actions and character, Jews and gentiles, beginnings and (non) endings, order and freedom, gratitude, joy and happiness, self-transformation, false humility, blessings, parenthood, education, family, forgiveness, second chances, ideology, watching ,newness, Zionism, our relationship with God, and much more.
