HaggadahNarrative tradition of Judaism, including history, science, folk-history, and legend; also, a prayerbook containing the story of the Exodus from Egypt, used during the Pesach Seder (ceremonial meal of Passover). The Haggadah forms part of the Talmud, a compilation of Jewish law and tradition. The stories usually have an inspirational, ethical, or theological purpose. During the festival of Pesach, each person present at a Seder is given a copy of the Haggadah, and the story of the Exodus is recited from it during the meal. Copies of the Haggadah are often beautifully decorated with illustrations or illuminated writing. |
