Ep. 38 — The Passover Haggadah w/ Dr. Jonathan Milevsky

What if the Haggadah isn’t just telling a story—but making an argument?Most people experience it as ritual.But what if it’s actually designed to provoke questions, tension, and debate?In this episode, Jimmy Bitton sits down with a Jewish historian and philosopher to explore:Why the Haggadah may be structured like a philosophical conversationHow thinkers like Maimonides approached the Exodus storyWhether ancient oppression should be understood through modern categoriesWhy one lesser-known figure is presented as an even greater threat than PharaohThis conversation challenges a familiar text—and reveals a deeper layer most people never notice.It’s not just about what the Haggadah says.It’s about how it teaches you to think.🎯 If you’ve read the Haggadah your whole life—this will change how you see it.Pick up Jonathan’s book on Amazon - https://amzn.to/41i443SAlso...Best-selling Deluxe Then and Now Bible Maps! With more than 30 new pages of highly detailed relief maps, full-color illustrations, and diagrams, this book lets you see where places of the Bible are today.
