Rabbi Yissachar Dov Rubin
A veritable galaxy of Torah giants appear on the pages of this extraordinary work, clarifying the themes and concepts of the haggadah with the eternal wisdom of their words and thoughts. Among them are: Rabbi Yonasan Eibeschutz, the Vilna Gaon, Rabbi Yisrael Salanter, Rabbi Yehoshua Leib Diskin, the Beis Halevi, Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik, Rabbi Yitzchak Zev Soloveitchik, the Chafetz Chaim, the Shem Mishmuel, the Gerrer Rebbe, the Satmar Rebbe, the Steipler Gaon, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, Rabbi Eliezer Shach. There is also a wealth of gems from many of the Rishonim, Acharonim, Rabbeim, Baalei Mussar and the leading Roshei Yeshivah of our own times.
Moreover, the anthology features numerous anecdotes and vignettes from the lives of our gedolim, which the author has painstakingly culled from a wide variety of sources and presented as vivid illustrations of themes developed from the haggadah. Many of these stories are previously unpublished, true finds that will delight and inspire readers everywhere. The Brisker family - the Beis Halevi, Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik, Rabbi Yitzchak Zev Soloveitchik - is particularly well represented in this respect, as are Rabbi Yisrael Salanter and the Chafetz Chaim.
All in all, The Hagaddah Anthology is a treasury of Torah insights that are both inspiring and intellectually stimulating. It is a work that expands the mind and uplifts the soul.
