 Using the Exodus story as an allegory of an individual's spiritual slavery and redemption, Kagan advocates a holistic approach to Judaism that merges the worlds of action, emotion, intellect and spirit.
Influenced by Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, Kagan brings the perspectives of Reb Zalman, Reb Shlomo Carlebach, and other joyous, spiritual teachers.
"Each year I try to find a few new Haggadot to make my s'darim more creative, interesting and fresh. Fortunately, I have not failed to find what I seek. It seems that each year the publishers are able to find new or old authors whose words inspire, are different, and bring something new to the ancient words of the Pesah ritual. {These two books} certainly fit into that category, as they are both creative, unusual and reflect thinking out of the box. "
