Baruch M. Bokser shows how the early rabbis transformed a biblical sacrificial meal into the Passover seder, one of the most popular Jewish rituals.

“[The story of the creation of the seder] told by Bokser is one of subtlety and resourcefulness in which the early rabbis toil to rescue and restructure a central institution of Judaism that was threatened.”
