The Szyk Haggadah

Arthur Szyk (pronounced Shick) created his magnificent Haggadah in Lodz on the eve of the Nazi occupation of his native Poland. There is no Haggadah like it before or since filled with sumptuous paintings of Jewish heroes and stunning calligraphy. This edition the first since 1940 to be reproduced from Szyks original art boasts a newly commissioned and extremely practical English text by Rabbi Byron L. Sherwin ideal for use at any family Seder and a special commentary section by Rabbi Sherwin and Irvin Ungar gives insight into both the rituals of the Seder and Szyks rich illustrations. Available in both hardcover and paperback editions The Szyk Haggadah will transform the Seder bringing the story of the Exodus from Egypt into a more contemporary light. Praise for The Szyk Haggadah: "Szyks Haggadah is still fabulous and fresh." -Hadassah Magazine
