The Torah Anthology: Passover Haggadah-Sephardic

description of book The Me’am Lo’ez Passover Haggadah with commentaries in English. With the exception of the Bible and Prayer Book, the Passover Haggadah is the most popular Jewish book in existence. Literally hundreds of editions have been printed with almost as many as different commentaries. Still, no justification is required for this edition, which contains a translation of Rabbi Yaakov Culi’s famous MeAm Loez on the Haggadah. No author is as able to extract, and present it so as to appeal to the most advanced scholar as well as to the person with virtually no background. The Haggadah text here follows the Sephardi rite, found in the first edition of Me’Am Lo’ez on Exodus. For the benefit of Ashkenazim using the volume, Ashkenazi variations are also included where they are significantly different. This also affords the opportunity for comparison. In translating the Haggadah itself, the simple, concise style of the Hebrew text was retained. The language of the Haggadah translation is simple enough for even young children to follow. Translated by: Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan.
