Read each year during Passover, the Haggadah exists as one of the oldest, most timeless, and sacred books in Jewish history. Now, Jonathan Safran Foer (Everything Is Illuminated) orchestrates a new way of experiencing and understanding this text. His unique and absorbing book is beautifully designed and illustrated by the acclaimed Israeli artist and calligrapher Oded Ezer with a new translation by Nathan Englander (For the Relief of Unbearable Urges), and brings together some of the pre-eminent voices of our time with provocative commentary by major Jewish writers and thinkers, including Howard Jacobson, Lemony Snicket, Alain de Botton, Simon Schama, Tony Kushner, Michael Pollan, Jeffrey Goldberg and Rebecca Newberger Goldstein.
