Episode 1 – The Passover Haggadah
The Haggadah has accompanied the Passover Seder for centuries; it provides a fascinating glance into Jewish culture throughout different historical periods. Each Haggadah reflects the spirit of its time and place, as revealed by an examination of its text, script and illustrations. As Romy Neumark tours around the Israel Museum, we catch a glimpse of the glorious collection of Haggadot from the Middle Ages to today. Each Haggadah has its own story to tell.
Point of View is a partnership between Beit Avi Chai and the Israel Museum. Each episode presents a Jewish holiday theme through the eyes of objet d’art from the Israel Museum’s collection.
