Synagogue Announcements
Congregation Torat Emet invites you to a special pre-Pesach program Monday Evening April 4, at 8:00PM
The Haggadah in History: The Picturesque, the Pious and the Protests Presented by Ari Kinsler, curator of the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Family Collection of Rare Judaica.
This presentation on the Passover Haggadah will showcase unique, rare, unusual, and singularly beautiful manuscripts and printed editions drawn principally from the Jay and Jeanie Schottenstein Family Collection. We will use these Haggadot, which span the medieval period to modern times, to:
Highlight key developments and trends in the text and aesthetic form of the Haggadah as a central Jewish book.
Explore the character and history of the various communities that produced them in different regions and epochs.
Learn how these communities each molded the Haggadah respectively to observe universal Jewish religious rituals and preserve local customs; to promote artistic expression and satisfy aesthetic tastes; and even as a tool for commercial activities and popular protests.
This program will be presented live at Torat Emet and on Zoom HERE.
