Pesach: Redemption Songs

The springtime holiday has been called our people’s “master narrative” (an ironic title given our escape from slavery).

Paradoxically, Passover is also one of the most challenging holidays, given its many rules. How can we fulfill the twin blessing of celebrating “a kosher and happy holiday?”
