Product Description
The Passover and its rite are central in the history of Judaism and Christianity. Baruch M. Bokser explains how the Passover evening celebration, the seder, became one of the most popular Jewish rituals, by transforming a biblical sacrifical meal. To find the key to this transformation, he analyzes the earliest full account of the seder in the Mishnah (circa 200 C.E.).
