Synopsis
One of the most beloved books in Judaism, the Haggadah, contains the liturgy for the Passover Seder. This very special Haggadah is illustrated with over 100 full-color images from the illuminated medieval haggadot in the renowned collection of the British Library. Fittingly, this magnificently illustrated Haggadah will doubtless become a treasured heirloom.
About the Author

Irvin Ungar, an antiquarian bookseller and former rabbi, has championed the rediscovery of Szyks work. He lives in Burlingame, California.
