The Word "Haggadah"
The word haggadah derives from a verb that also means "bind," "join," "connect." The story of the exodus is more than a recounting ( sippur ) of things that happened long ago. It binds the present to the past and future. It connects one generation to the next. It joins us to our children. Jewish continuity means that each successive generation commits itself to continuing the story. Our past lives on in us.
