“The Haggadah itself is a fabric, a mosaic of texts.” This strikingly illustrated Haggadah draws inspiration from the long history of the text itself and modern Jewish art. Printed on an 1860 Albion press with woodblocks designed by multimedia artist Maty Grünberg and text based on the work of typographer Eliahu Koren, it also recalls the importance of print technology in “the tremendous proliferation of Haggadot over the past 900 years.” A powerful mix of tradition and 20th-century artistry.
