About This Course
This course will take a deeper dive into key Holiday Liturgy texts. We will try to discover coherence in texts that often feel disjointed; and we will see how they serve as extended meditations on how we are meant to approach and experience these sacred moments. We will first look in depth at the Haggadah and the Machzor, then explore several other holiday texts and rituals.
