Special Collections
Pesach Haggadot
One of the library’s significant collections is the Haggadah collection, which includes a few hundred items, some of which date back to the 1800s. The Haggadah is a Jewish text that is read during the Passover Seder, and it tells the story of the Israelites’ liberation from slavery in Egypt. This collection includes Haggadot from all over the world.
The library’s Haggadah collection is a testament to its commitment to preserving Jewish history and culture. These rare and unique items provide a valuable window into the past and a resource for future generations to learn and understand the rich traditions of Jewish life.
