Take One: Pesachim 113 and 114

Today’s Daf Yomi pages, Pesachim 113 and 114, give us some sparkling words to live by. Mark Gerson, author of the newly published book The Telling: How Judaism's Essential Book Reveals the Meaning of Life, joins us to argue that the Haggadah is our faith's greatest hits collection, and shares some choice bits of ancient wisdom that are ever so relevant today. Why was the Haggadah written in such a cryptic and often difficult manner?
