== About the Haggadah == Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Zevin wrote about this Haggadah: "A wonderful Haggadah with few like it, suitable for every Jew, whether Chassid or not. If I were not concerned about Chassidim's aversion to defining holy work in secular terms, I would say that this is a first-rate scientific work. In any case: it is a gem in Haggadah literature." The researcher and linguist Meir Medan wrote: "This Haggadah, small in quantity, is surprising in two respects: a) The immense abundance of sources from the words of the Sages and from books of the Rishonim and Acharonim—it is difficult to understand how this vast abundance of knowledge was contained in a thin, slender booklet of 47 pages, most of which is the body of the Haggadah and only a minority the words of the compiler and editor. b) The fact that the author, a Chassidic Rebbe, is revealed not as a Rebbe whose Chassidus is his profession and whose words are hints and homilies like other Rebbes, but as a first-rate scientific researcher, a philologist of stature, who astonishes with his vast knowledge, straight thinking, and ability for scientific analysis and clarification of sources, versions, what came earlier and later, the simple meaning of the text—all in a brief, concise, and extremely precise language."
