Passover Haggadah

I'm not sure what to say other than that the one piece of Judaica I do collect is Haggadot. This commentary has by far become my favorite. It's the voice of a wise person who loves the tradition yet isn't unwilling to question it, who lived through a faith-destroying event, yet retains fondness and love for the holiday and tradition. It's life affirming and tragic and sad and hopeful and innovative all at once. It isn't the most religious commentary, but for most modern Jews, it could easily be the most moving. Many places can bring you to tears...from the tragedy, the beauty, the hope, and the magic of the holiday.

Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel tells tales, his wife provides translations, and Dr Podwal includes his magical drawings. Wiesel's commentaries are printed in red (for example, for the Four Sons, he comments on the idea of Four Generations and the transmittal of heritage from knowing (wise) to not-knowing(cant even ask the question)). The classic Hebrew and English text of the traditional haggadah are in black ink. The Haggadah is in Right to Left format. While in English and Hebrew, there are no transliterations.
