32. From Scandal to Seder: How Geonic Polemic Shaped the Text of the Haggadah - Feat. Yosef Lindell

Shu"T First, Ask Questions Later

In this episode, we go back to one of the earliest examples of responsa literature: The Siddur of Rav Amram Gaon. Yosef Lindell provides us with a framework for understanding the fluidity and development the Haggadah and uses it as a case study in understanding the development of Jewish liturgy, from the ancient Talmuds to the Rabbanite-Karaite controversies, Ashkenazic-Sephardic divergences and much more!
