"Whoever expands on the narrative of the exodus from Egypt, this person (harei zeh) is to be praised" (Haggada). The Hebrew word zeh ("this") indicates a state of holiness, as in the phrase, "Here, this (zeh) is our G‑d" (p. 336). Whoever expands on the narrative of the exodus, his zeh, his element of holiness, is enriched.
