Description
Paul Citrin discusses how the Passover story has shaped the Jewish worldview, influenced Christianity, and the American Commonwealth. He examines the symbols and liturgy of the Passover celebration. Finally, he provides an overview of the power of the Passover Seder to draw Jews to its celebration who are otherwise secular and to the many churches that hold model Seders. In an age of the disintegration of community, the Passover observance can help us rebuild family and larger communities.
Rabbi Paul Citrin received his BA in history from UCLA and MA in Hebrew letters and ordination from Hebrew Union College. He has been a congregational rabbi for over forty years, a social activist, an interfaith worker, and an author of five books. His passion is teaching.
