The Human Rights Haggadah with Rabbi Shlomo Levin March 29
The Human Rights Haggadah highlights fifteen human rights issues that come up in the classic text. It provides Jewish and secular sources for each along with questions for discussion. Rather than promote any specific viewpoint, whether on social issues or Israel, this Haggadah views human rights as a shared language for dialogue to enhance understanding. Shlomo will explain how the Passover seder may be an ideal time to discuss human rights and how this can enhance the meaning and relevance of our seders. The conversation will center on human rights and Jewish values, and model examining a particular human rights issue from the Haggadah much like we would at the seder.
Shlomo Levin received ordination from The Israeli Chief Rabbinate and Yeshivat Hamivtar, and also holds an M.A. in International Law and Human Rights from the United Nations University for Peace in Costa Rica. For many years he served as a Rabbi, but now he writes about human rights issues of interest to the Jewish community and is the author of The Human Rights Haggadah. You can find him at
