    Shabbat-B'Shabbato – Parshat Metzora (Hagadol) No 1620: 8 Nissan 5776 (16 April 2016) AS SHABBAT APPROACHES Redemption, Prayer, and Torah Study - by Esti Rosenberg, Head of the Midrasha for Women, Migdal Oz In the introduction to his book "The Time of our Freedom" Rabbi Soloveitchik describes the mystic charm of the Seder night: "As a child I would stand and I was enthralled... I was hypnotized by this night... bright with the light of the moon, enveloped in beauty and glory... I was excited and filled with inspiration... Silence, quiet, peace, and a feeling of calm surrounded me. I became used to surrender to a flow of abundant joy and excitement." The Seder night incorporates within it an abstract of our entire religious world, and every Jewish family has the privilege of passing on the tradition of the generations from father to son and from mother to daughter. There are three main elements in the Seder night: The first element is the "story of the Exodus." The historical record is passed down from one generation to the next. Every generation tells the next one in line about the experience of redemption, about the matzot and the packages on the backs of the people, about leaving in the middle of the night, and about the emotional experience of moving from slavery to freedom. It is a first-person account, a true record of what happened to my own ancestors. The emphasis in the story is on personal experience, on faith, and on how the Holy One, Blessed be He, chose us as His nation.

  • Temple Israel Library
    NEWELAZAR07252011 Introduction TEMPLE ISRAEL LIBRARY Is organized according to the Elazar Classification Scheme The Elazar classification scheme, first drafted in 1952 for use in the Library of the United Hebrew Schools of Detroit, Michigan, passed through several revisions and modifications and was originally published in 1962, The National Foundation for Jewish Culture assisting with the circulation of the incipient draft for comment and criticism. Wayne State University Libraries provided a grant-in-aid which prepared the manuscript for publication. The Second Edition, which was published in 1978, was revised on the basis of comments by the members of the Association of Jewish Libraries of Southern California. Rita B. Frischer and Rachel K. Glasser of Sinai Temple Blumenthal Library, and the Central Cataloging Service for Libraries of Judaica (CCS) in Los Angeles, assisted in the preparation and revision of the Third Edition. (See David H. Elazar, and Daniel J. Elazar, A Classification System for Libraries of Judaica, Northvale, N.J.: Jason Aronson Inc, 1997.) Its use has spread widely throughout the United States, Israel, and other parts of the Jewish world. Libraries of all kinds, in synagogues and community centers, in Hebrew schools. On college campuses and in research institutions, have adopted the scheme and worked with it. The system is structured around The following ten classes: 001-099 Bible and Biblical Studies 100-199 Classical Judaica: Halakhah and Midrash 200-299 Jewish Observance and Practice 300-399 Jewish Education 400-499 Hebrew, Jewish Languages and Sciences 500-599 Jewish Literature (including Fiction and Children‟s Literature) 600-699 The Jewish Community: Society and the Arts 700-799 Jewish History, Geography, Biography 800-899 Israel and Zionism 900-999 General Works ELAZAR CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM 001---099 Bible and Biblical Studies Torah, Apocrypha, Pseudepigrapha 001 Complete Bible .1 Art, Rare, Special Editions .2 Hebrew with translation .5 Polyglot Bibles .8 Combined “Old Testament” and “New Testament” The Holy Scriptures.

  • Archetype and Adaptation: Passover Haggadot from the Stephen P
    Archetype and Adaptation: Passover Haggadot from the Stephen P. Durchslag Collection The week-long, springtime Jewish holiday of Pesach, or Passover, is beloved for its symbolic meaning and joyous customs. Passover marks the freeing of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, a narrative with universal appeal as a paradigm for collective and, according to some traditions, personal liberation. The Haggadah (plural: Haggadot), or “telling,” is the collection of prayers, legends, and stories recited on the eve of Passover. The basic text derives from the biblical instruction to retell the story of the Exodus each year during Passover in conjunction with a ritual meal called the Seder, or “order” (Exodus 13:8). Over the centuries songs and illustrations have been added to engage children, to whom the story was to be told, and some passages are given added prominence when they resonate with contemporary concerns. Illustrations in medieval manuscripts depict scenes from Exodus, the life of Moses, and Jewish Patriarchs. Many of these scenes continue to appear in early printed Haggadot, but the emphasis shifts to passages drawn directly from the text. The Haggadah has shown remarkable stability and flexibility: thousands of editions in all languages testify to its central role in Jewish life and its ability to incorporate new themes and respond to changing conditions. This exhibition is drawn entirely from the private collection of Stephen P. Durchslag, the largest known collection of Haggadot in private hands. “Archetype and Adaptation” explores the enduring influence of early printed Haggadot as well as the ability of modern versions to reflect political and social developments such as the Holocaust, Zionism, gay rights, and feminism.

The Haggadah, as Yerushalmi noted, is “the most popular and beloved” of Jewish books. What is remarkable about the Haggadah is its historical adaptability. As Jews around the world each year during Passover recount the story of Exodus from Egypt, they make it relevant to their own lives, reflecting on the meaning of the story to their own times. Haggadot, therefore, often reflect not only the historical changes in Jewish culture but also the cultural diversity of Jews across the globe.

  • New-Generation-Of-Haggadah-Art.Pdf
    A NEW GENERATION OF HAGGADAH ART FIVE MODERN ARTISTS REINTERPRET THE EXODUS STORY TO INCLUDE EGGED BUSES, STRAY CATS, THE GEORGE WASHINGTON BRIDGE AND MORE... BY SARAH BREGER // n every generation a person is obligated to see him/herself as if he/she had journeyed out of Egypt,” the Haggadah dictates. Since the first known illuminated Haggadah appeared in the 14th century, the story of the Jews’ liberation from bondage has been visualized in innumerable and sometimes surprising ways. For example, the Bird’s Head Haggadah depicts humans with birds’ heads and pronounced beaks. Created in southern Germany, it’s the oldest surviving illuminated Ashkenazi Haggadah, dating to around 1300, and most of its illustrations are found in the margins of the text. On the other hand, the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, produced in Barcelona around 1350, features fall-page illustrations of biblical stories. It is one of many lavish manuscripts from the Middle Ages, when wealthy Jews commissioned Haggadahs for use at their Seders. Manuscript production declined with the rise of the printing press, but Haggadah art flourished. The 1526 Prague Haggadah includes woodcut borders enlivened with the figures of Adam and Eve, Samson and Judith with the head of Holfernes, as well as the Bohemian coat-of-arms. In the 1560 Mantua Haggadah, Abraham crosses the Euphrates in a gondola, and o “OT} the Wise Son is a replica of Michaelangelo’s “Jeremiah” from the Sistine o CO Chapel.

  • The Pesach Feast1 by Erich Töplitz, Frankfurt A. M. the Illustrations Are
    The Pesach Feast1 by Erich Töplitz, Frankfurt a. M. The illustrations are from the exemplary sample collection of the Gesellschaft zur Erforschung jüdischer Kunstdenkmäler, Frankfurt am Main The Pesach or Passover feast is celebrated for eight (in Palestine only seven) days starting on the 15th of Nissan in remembrance of the Jewish homes being passed over during the slaying of the firstborn in Egypt and of the subsequent liberation from suppression in Pharaoh’s country. Because of the hasty exodus, it was not possible to leaven the bread for the journey and, hence, the unleavened bread, “matzah,” was kept as the feast’s symbol. At the time of the Temple, the Pesach sacrifice was at the center of the ceremonies; in the wake of its destruction, a domestic celebration evolved, the Seder (order), which is accompanied by various symbolic activities and by the savoring of symbolic dishes. It takes place on the first two evenings (in Palestine only on the eve) of the feast and is observed by reciting the story of the exodus from Egypt and various psalms and prayers that are read from a small book, the Haggadah (narration). * The Seder Table and its Utensils Among the utensils, the Seder plate, on which the three matzoth are placed, must be mentioned above all. This round flat dish is usually made from conventional pewter, similar to the Purim plate, with which it is frequently confused. Like the latter, it is covered with an abundance of engravings; Seder keywords, important sentences from the Haggadah, pictures of the exodus from Egypt, the Ten Plagues, and the four questioning children, the Passover lamb, and the baking of the matzoth, the story of the little lamb, etc.

Haxen Introduction The revival – or renaissance – of Jewish book painting in the 17th and 18th centuries has been thoroughly documented and researched in the past decades.2 And focus has, for artistic reasons, been on the Bohe- mia-Moravian school of book painting and its ramification into Central and Northern Europe. Scribes and book painters of the Bohemia-Moravian pictorial tradition crisscrossed Central and Northern Europe with their art from Nikolsburg in Moravia to Vienna, and from Vienna to Darmstadt, Bonn and Amsterdam, coming to the ‘three communities’ Hamburg, Altona, Wandsbeck and eventually reaching the Danish capital city, Copenhagen. Among the most prominent artists are Samuel of Dressnitz, Aron Wolf 1 The Haggadah is an illustrated narrative of the dramatic rescue of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage based upon the Biblical book, Exodus 13:8 seq.

Of all the early printed illustrated Passover haggadot, the Amsterdam Haggadah of 1695 had the greatest impact on subsequent editions. The artist Abraham Bar Yaaqov, a convert to Judaism, borrowed most of the illustrations from Mathaeus Merian, a Christian artist whose illustrations for both bibles and history books were widely known throughout Europe. It was from among these engravings that the models for the illustrations in the Amsterdam Haggadah were chosen.
