This fine, unusual Haggadah will lend spice to any Passover seder. Its text, in Hebrew and English, includes a practical guide for conducting a traditional seder, explaining in some detail the symbolism of the meal's various elements. These sections are remarkably penetrating, even quoting L‚vi-Strauss on the role of religious rituals. But it's Garouste's rather fantastical illustrations that set this Haggadah apart, providing a wealth of visual intrigue if the seder meal ever drags. His 50 original, bordering-on-bizarre watercolors challenge the mind and inspire the soul. A $250 collector's edition is also available; it is printed on vellum paper and comes in a cloth-covered presentation box.

Product Description
The Haggadah's rhythm of songs and questions is a meditation on freedom. It is of central importance to the Jewish faith and is one of the Hebraic texts that has been discussed and recreated the most often.
But Haggadah is more than a book, it is also a practical guide that follows the order of the Seder ceremony. This edition includes all the instructions and English and Hebrew text necessary to carry out a successful celebration in the traditional atmosphere of the event and invites celebrants to challenge their intelligence, taste and spirituality.
