THE WHIMSICAL HAGGADAH (IX)
– Mega Interlude: The Telling, as in Praises  

Praising God is central to the way we retell the story. The insertion of praises throughout the Maggid help structure the narrative. The praise tapestries all have one centered and contained shape on a neutral background: for once in the book there are words that we don’t have to dwell and reflect upon. We just say or sing them loudly and in unison.
