MOCRA: Sunday, 20 May 2012

"The Jewish Experience and the Haggadah," a lecture by Stephen P. Durchslag  (owner of the world's largest private collection of haggadot) followed by a closing reception for the exhibition "Archie Granot: The Papercut Haggadah"

Sunday, May 20, 2012, at 2 p.m.

Stephen P. Durchslag will draw on examples from his collection of 4,500 haggadot--the largest private collection in the world--to show how the haggadah (the book that contains the ritual guide to the Passover Seder meal) is a central element of the Jewish experience and a vehicle for myriad expressions of the Jewish imagination. The lecture will be followed by a closing reception for the exhibition "Archie Granot: The Papercut Haggadah."
