Recensioner i media

“Rabbi Cohen has written an engaging companion to the Haggadah that is at once original, thought provoking, erudite, and humane. A modern sensibility meets an ancient text, and the result is a series of interpretations that will give every reader something new to think about on the timeless yet always timely themes of exodus, freedom, and responsibility.”-Rabbi Jonathan SacksChief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations of Britain and the Commonwealth
