The Haggadah (Hebrew for "telling") tells the story of the exodus of the ancient Hebrews from slavery in Egypt. One of Judaism’s most popular works of religious literature, Jewish artists first began illustrating the Haggadah during the Middle Ages in a vibrant tradition that is still practiced today and masterfully executed in this work, which is one of the most beautiful and moving of all illustrated Haggadot. This work can be found in the Special Collections Library.
