#Haggadah

[mental-mona]

By reciting the Haggadah, Jews give their children a sense of connectedness to Jews throughout the world and to the Jewish people throughout time.

Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks zt"l, The Chief Rabbi’s Haggadah (Essays), p. 2

No one in my life thinks this is funny so I’m turning to the Jews on my phone.

Picture this: Passover, 1908. We stand to open to the door for Elijah the Prophet. In the distance, a train’s whistle sounds….

“The museum was ransacked during 1992’s Siege of Sarajevo, but the thieves, ignorant of the Haggadah’s worth, left it on the floor. It was removed to an underground bank vault, where it survived untouched, even as the museum sustained heavy artillery damage…The president of Bosnia presented it to Jewish community leaders during a Seder three years later.”

Las Hagadot catalanas

🇪🇸 Durante los últimos siglos de la Edad Media, hubo un notable intercambio cultural y artístico entre las comunidades cristianas y judías, evidenciado en manuscritos como la Hagadá Prato y otros textos religiosos. Las comunidades judías, a partir del siglo IV bajo el dominio cristiano, experimentaron tanto periodos de represión como de colaboración. En territorios como los reinos de Castilla y Aragón, especialmente en Barcelona, hubo interacción entre gremios cristianos y judíos que trabajaban juntos en la manufactura de libros religiosos. Los artesanos de ambos grupos compartían técnicas para iluminar manuscritos, extraer pigmentos y trabajar pergaminos. Ejemplos de este intercambio incluyen la similitud estética entre las escenas bíblicas judías y cristianas, como la representación de Moisés regresando a Egipto y la huida de José y María a Egipto, o las lamentaciones por los primogénitos hebreos y la Piedad cristiana. Estas similitudes demuestran un profundo intercambio tecnológico y figurativo entre las dos comunidades.

🇺🇸 During the last centuries of the Middle Ages, there was a notable cultural and artistic exchange between Christian and Jewish communities, as evidenced in manuscripts like the Prato Haggadah and other religious texts. Jewish communities, from the 4th century onwards under Christian rule, experienced both periods of repression and collaboration. In territories like the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, especially in Barcelona, there was interaction between Christian and Jewish guilds working together on the production of religious books. Artisans from both groups shared techniques for illuminating manuscripts, extracting pigments, and working on parchment. Examples of this exchange include the aesthetic similarity between Jewish and Christian biblical scenes, such as Moses returning to Egypt and Joseph and Mary’s flight to Egypt, or the lamentations over the Hebrew firstborn and the Christian Pietà. These similarities demonstrate a deep technological and figurative exchange between the two communities.

A special #Feathersday for #ChagPesachSameach: The Bird's Head Hagaddah c. 1300, the oldest surviving illuminated Ashkenazi Passover Haggadah, named for its depiction of Jewish human figures with bird heads. In this scene they're baking matzo!

The Birds’ Head Haggadah South Germany c. 1300 Scribe: Menahem Handwritten on parchment; dark brown ink & tempera; square Ashkenazic script H: 27; W: 18.2 cm Israel Museum, Jerusalem B46.04.0912

"The name of this early Passover Haggadah derives from its depiction of human figures with pronounced birds’ heads. The enigmatic practice of drawing bird and animal heads in place of human faces is found in other Ashkenazi manuscripts of the 13th and 14th centuries and has been interpreted in various ways.

This is the first illustrated Haggadah known to be produced as an entity separate from the prayer book. It contains depictions with ritual and textual themes: the preparation of matzah and the various blessings over wine and food recited during the Seder; biblical scenes like the gathering of the manna or the giving of the Torah; and messianic images such as the rebuilt Jerusalem."
