summary

Contains an additional introduction by Dr. Géza (Moses) Ribady, two historical essays by Dr. Erno Munkácsi, music for the songs and reproductions of pages from old printed and manuscript Hagadahs. “[An] example of sumptuous bookcraft, executed with loving attention to quality and detail. Considering the time in which [it was] produced, it is also a…reminder of the resilience of the Jewish spirit in the midst of historical adversity and the power of the Haggadah itself to sustain the hopes of Jews for a brighter future.” Yerushalmi 164.
