Note 1 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
Whenever a haggadah is useful as explaining a Biblical passage, it may be taught as part of the Biblical lesson. But the teacher should avoid teaching such legends as may misrepresent the Biblical meaning and even such as are merely extraneous to the subject, as, for example, the legend of Abraham's persecution by Nimrod, for we must be careful that these legends do not usurp the unique place which the Bible as Torah must hold in Jewish life and thought. The haggadah is not authoritative; the Bible is.
