Shabbat HaGadol (“The Great Shabbat”) is the Shabbat that immediately precedes the holiday of Passover. Jewish texts offer many explanations as to why this Shabbat is called “great,” like those that point to a great miracle performed on this Shabbat during the exodus, or those that point to the word “great” at the end of the haftarah portion traditionally read on this Shabbat. In many communities, the rabbi delivers a lengthy sermon on a Passover-related topic.
