With Dr. Marcus Mordecai Schwartz, Assistant Professor, Talmud and Rabbinics, and Ripp Schnitzer Librarian for Special Collections 

This session explored some of the priceless treasures in JTS’s collection of Haggadah manuscripts. We consider how the text of the Haggadah and the accompanying hand-drawn illustrations are—or are not—in conversation with each other and make some other unexpected discoveries between the covers of these rare medieval manuscripts.
