The narrative portion of the Jewish Talmud containing stories, legends, and moral teachings, as opposed to legal rules.
From Hebrew 'haggadah' meaning 'narrative' or 'telling,' derived from the root 'nagad' meaning 'to tell or declare.' It entered English through Yiddish and direct Jewish religious scholarship, representing core Jewish textual tradition.
The Haggada is recited every Passover in Jewish homes worldwide, making it one of the most frequently read religious texts—it's the narrative heart of Judaism, preserving stories and wisdom that have been told for over 2,000 years.
