A beautifully produced modern illuminated Haggadah created by the Israeli artist Yitzhak Hazin, published in Israel in 1998. This deluxe volume is notable for its lavish full-colour illustrations, its ornate calligraphy, and its impressive pewter (cast metal) relief plaque mounted on the front cover—depicting a ceremonial Kiddush cup and floral motifs. The craftsmanship of the binding and artwork evokes the tradition of medieval illuminated manuscripts.
