The first formal text for the Haggadah dates back to the Talmudic era. Over the years, various prayers and piyutim (poems) were added. Today, the text is standardized and with a few variations, it is recited by Jews world-over.

It is customary for each person participating in the Seder to have his own Haggadah. This Haggadah is Hebrew text only - offered for those who do not require translation. Illustrations are from the late world-famous artist Ze’ev Rabin.
