  • S4, E3

    In the October 2023 discussion on Shadal and Ohev Ger, Klein and the host discuss why the facsimile edition of Ohev Ger excluded the introduction. I would suggest (coming out of my doctoral research) that its disappearance reflects Shadal’s change of opinion on the accuracy of his introduction. Through the influence of Shir et al., Shadal later changed his opinion on the origins of Targum Onqelos to a less conservative viewpoint.

Q: What is the translation process like—are you starting from Hebrew, using existing translations, or both?
It's a mixture: using existing translations as a springboard, sometimes consulting a Hebrew Otsuma Farshim Haggadah, and then crafting the rhyme based on that framework.
SmallTalk: The Rhyme and Reason Haggadah (with Rabbi Reuven Lowy)
Q: Why did you decide to translate the Haggadah into a rhyming English translation?
The idea came from noticing rhyme in a standard translation during Pesach; Lowy pursued poetry as a long-time interest and formalized the rhyming adaptation.
