Why is This Night Different From All Other Nights?
Four Questions Around the World
By Ilana Kurshan
Introduction by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin
$16.00 (h/c)For many Jewish children, the Ma Nishtana
represents their first public performance. The four questions have been
recited for about a hundred generations in many different countries. This
fascinating, informative and beautifully illustrated book translates the
Passover seder's four questions into twenty three languages of the Jewish
diaspora -- from French to Farsi, from Latin to Ladino, from Yiddish to
Sweedish to Chinese and more. Accompanying each question is an
overview of Jewish life and culture among the speakers of the language, and
an illustration of either historical or contemporary interest. A beautiful
gift book. |
