Lithograph on board.

A pictorial narrative of the song “Chad Gadya” sung at the end of the Passover Seder. Spiral-design playing board follows the story of a goat bought by the father for two zuzim clockwise: the cat eats the goat, the dog bites the cat, the stick beats the dog, the fire burns the stick, the water extinguishes the fire, the ox drinks the water, the slaughterer kills the ox, the Angel of Death kills the slaughterer, and God destroys the Angel of Death. Images for game box design include the Jewish people traveling through the desert with the Torah Ark in tow - a reference to the Passover story.
