A FEAST OF HISTORY - Drama of Passover by CHAIM RAPHAEL (Hardcover 1993)

Description: THE DRAMA OF PASSOVER THROUGH THE AGES THIS BOOK HAS BEEN A POPULAR PRIVATE LIBRARY ITEM for Jewish families since it first appeared in Britain in 1972 to much acclaim. There have been several reprints down the years and this one was published in 1993. What makes it well-liked is that it is a lively account of an important and ancient ceremony in Jewish homes - the festive Seder meal at Passover. Of additional significance is that it is an engaging description of an annual experience that may be of great interest to readers who are not of the Jewish faith. The book provides a text in Hebrew as well as English of the Haggadah that is read at the Seder about the departure of Jews from Egypt as set forth in the Book of Exodus. The Seder ceremonial meal is deeply rooted in tradition and who better to describe it than Chaim Raphael (1908 to 1994) who, among other talents and achievements in public service, was a Hebrew scholar and Jewish social historian in Britain where he was awarded the CBE. The author shows how the Haggadah lives on down the generations as a central experience in Jewish life.
