#haggadah

[kbuty]

Page of the Ashkenazi Haggadah, published in the 15th. Century in what would become modern day south Germany. This page contains the recitation “Ha Lachma Anya”, translated in full here: “This is the bread of affliction that our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. Anyone who is hungry should come and eat, anyone who is in need should come and partake of the Pesach sacrifice. Now we are here, next year we will be in the land of Israel; this year we are slaves, next year we will be free people”.

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

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….

How FOX News would have reported it:

Soros-Backed Workers Quiet-Quit Egypt

[asickandtirednobody]

As we gather around as Jews, we are taught this:

As the Jews finished crossing the parted sea, the angels wanted to start to sing about (Praise) the water collapsing on Pharohs soldiers.

G-D was enraged by the angels. As even Pharohs people were also G-Ds children.

My grandmother taught me that G-D loves all of his children, and we are all seen as human. We make mistakes, we fight, we argue, but being human is to err. It is not us as humans to judge another human.

Every time I was a child, I would fight with a cousin, and my grandmother reminded us of this. We were going to be related, so we might as well get along and get it over sooner than later.

“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.”

"Birds’ Head Haggadah", medieval jewish illuminated manuscript with avian figures. Scholars say the human face was masked to circumvent the prohibition on images.

[arthistoryanimalia]

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."

The Bouton Passover Haggadah

This magnificent manuscript was created as a specialty commission by illustrator, heraldic painter, engraver and skilled scribe (Sofer Mahir) Victor Bouton. Born in Lorraine in 1819 and active in Paris, Bouton followed the model of Shiraz school of miniature paintings and manuscript decoration when creating this unique Haggadeh. The manuscript features sumptuously rich borders with floral elements, gold and lapis lazuli surrounding the text in Hebrew calligraphy.

The Haggadah is now in the Braginsky Collection (https://braginskycollection.com/portfolio/bouton-haggadah/)
