Krupp Library: Passover Online: Haggadot

Haggadot

There is a rich tradition of Haggadah commentary and illumination across the world going back hundreds of years. Each Haggadah reflects the era, culture, and needs of the community where it was created. Some Haggadot have become classics, while new versions with new interpretations continue to be published. In this Library Guide you will find links to complete Haggadot with text and illustrations that you can view online or download.

This gorgeous, colorful illuminated Haggadah was originally commissioned by the Rose family. The artist Barbara Wolff used materials that resemble those used to create illuminated Haggadot in past centuries. Wolff painted on vellum parchment and highlighted her work with silver, gold, and platinum foils.
