“Halacha is to stir the body.
Aggadda is to draw the heart.” –
Rabbi Louis Jacobs
Halacha is the Law. It is what God demands of us and that we
strive to observe. Aggadda are the tales
that infuse the Torah into life. The
stories, parables, and tales are all part of the fabric that breathes life into
Torah.
We need both Law and Myth to be
whole.
