Haggadah: The Passover Story

by Marc-Alain Ouaknin, Gérard Garouste

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.
