Haggadah |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.02 sec. |
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. How to thank TFD for its existence?
