Description
PASSOVER HAGGADAH ACCORDING TO THE SEPHARDIC RITE, JERUSALEM: ISRAEL BEN ABRAHAM BAK, 1842
30 folios (5 3/4 x 3 5/8 in.; 145 x 92 mm).
The first Haggadah printed in the Holy Land.
The present Haggadah includes the traditional text of the Passover Seder, as well as that of Kabbalat shabbat, the evening service, and the formulae recited when setting up an eiruv and when counting sefirat ha-omer. Its inclusion of liturgical material relevant only to the second night of Passover indicates that Bak intended at least part of his inventory for export to communities outside of the Land of Israel.
