HAGGADA

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 814 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
HAGGADA , or 'AGADA (literally " narrative "), includes the more homiletic elements of rabbinic teaching. It is not logically distinguishable from the
halakha
  (q.v.), for the latter or forensic
element
  makes up with the haggada the
Midrash
  (q.v.), but, being more popular than the
halakha
 , is often itself styled the
Midrash
 . It maybe described as the poetical and ethical
element
  as contrasted with the legal element in the
Talmud
  (q.v.), but the two elements are always closely connected. From one point of view the haggada, amplifying and developing the contents of Hebrew scripture in response to a popular religious need, may be termed a rabbinical commentary on the Old Testament, containing traditional stories and legends, sometimes amusing, sometimes trivial, and often beautiful. The haggada abounds in parables. The haggadic passages of the
Talmud
  were collected in the Eye of
Jacob
 , a very popular compilation completed by
Jakob
  ibn Habib in the 16th
century
 .
