The Conservative Movement's *A Passover Haggadah* reveals how Judaism can evolve while remaining anchored in tradition, serving as a compelling case study in balancing historical continuity with contemporary needs. Through textual analysis and halakhic examination, the Haggadah emerges primarily as an educational instrument for Torah study rather than fixed liturgy—a distinction that legitimizes careful editorial modifications within established Jewish law. Close reading of the Conservative Haggadah's editorial choices, compared against Mishnaic requirements and traditional sources, demonstrates how editors successfully reorganized existing haggadic material for thematic clarity while maintaining essential halakhic obligations: the four cups of wine, narrative structure from humble beginnings to praise, explanation of Passover symbols, and Hallel recitation. Strategic textual changes, including repositioning the four sons narrative and relocating passages about Divine providence, enhance comprehension for modern readers without compromising religious integrity. By recognizing the Haggadah's historical flexibility as a study document rather than rigid liturgy, the Conservative approach represents organic evolution of Jewish tradition that employs past mandates to address contemporary spiritual and educational needs, effectively "unfreezing Judaism from the shackles" of liturgical fixity.
