Ma’asei Hashem [commentry to the Six Days of Creation, Chapters of the Fathers, the Passover Hagadah (with text) and various Biblical portions]

As a biblical exegete, Aschkenazi follows the rationalist trend in rabbinical scholarship. He suggests that irrational elements in Jewish tradition had occurred due to copyists’ errors, misunderstandings and misreadings, or had been precipitated in times of trouble and expulsions, or even inserted by adversaries. Aschkenazi’s commentary on the Hagadah annotates in an aggadic vein alongside a mystical explication. x-ref HAG.
