“From Despair To Destiny” unlocks the riches of the Haggadah and reveals its spectacular depths through the prism of the giants of tradition throughout the ages. The Haggadah is brought to life in a fresh translation and original commentary woven from the venerated notes of Rashi and the Ramban, the scholarly analysis of the Maharal of Prague, the cryptic comments of the Arizal, the breathtaking brilliance of the Vilna Gaon, the introspective view of the masters of chassidut and Mussar, the profound observations of Rav Eliyahu Dessler, the encyclopedic erudition of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and the powerful insights of Rav Yosef Dov Soloveitchik, among many others.

“From Despair To Destiny” is designed to instruct, enlighten, and inspire. It is an invitation to join the circle of living scholarship that has energized the Jewish People through the millenia. From the commencement of Kaddesh to the very last line of Chad Gadia, the meaning of every section of the Haggadah is analyzed, clarified and accentuated.
