The Szyk Haggadah

This edition of The Szyk Haggadah, the first since 1940 to be reproduced from Szyk's original art, boasts a newly commissioned and extremely practical English text by Rabbi Byron L. Sherwin. Ideal for use at any family seder, this haggadah includes a special commentary section by Rabbi Sherwin. Irvin Ungar gives insight into both the rituals of the seder and 48 of Szyk's rich illustrations. Arthur Szyk's highly stylized work incorporates the ancient style of illumination with modern elements combing contemporary and traditional imagery. Originally published on the eve of World War II, the Syzk Haggadah represents Jewish reaction to the dawning fears of the emerging political climate in Europe. His works are world renowned and are featured in museums and collections around the world.
