Crafted especially for festival use, these splendid wine goblets, plates, cloths, and haggadahs offer compelling testimony to the creativity of Jewish ritual objects and the beauty and meaning of this beloved holiday. Passover Splendor showcases more than 60 of the finest of these ritual objects from museums and private collections around the world, reflecting the varied cultural and stylistic influences of the Jewish Diaspora. The book also features a retelling of the timeless Passover story and outlines the parts of the seder, including traditional prayers and songs.

The Ashkenazi Haggadah 

David Goldstein 

HB £29.95 (out of stock)

During the Middle Ages, in the centres of Jewish culture in Europe, many illuminated Haggadot were produced. One considered to be amongst the finest and held at the British Library in London, is the 15th-century manuscript by Joel ben Simeon, who lived in medieval Germany. The majority of its 98 pages of Ashkenazi script are illuminated with initials and other ornaments and there are miniatures illustrating the Passover story and the Seder feast itself. It is reproduced in this volume, together with a transcript and a translation, so that the book may be used, as intended, at Passover ceremonies. The medieval commentary in the margins of the text is often inscribed in the form of domestic objects, animals and creatures of all kinds and is also translated here.

The Childrens Haggadah

Silberman

HB £19.95 
(Still in stock)
A classic Haggadah for children, full of things to pull, turn and touch, that really brings the story alive.
