Haggadic

/ˌhæɡəˈdɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the Haggada; of or pertaining to the narrative and interpretive literature of Jewish tradition.

Etymology

Formed from 'haggada' plus the Greek-derived suffix '-ic' (meaning 'relating to' or 'of the nature of'), creating a standard English adjective.

Kelly Says

Haggadic literature is where some of the most beautiful stories in Judaism live—tales of rabbis, miracles, and moral lessons that serve an entirely different purpose than the legal portions of the Talmud.
