Haggadah
Haggadah (plural: Haggadot) (Hebrew: ‘story, parable’). A set of Jewish texts, including the Exodus narrative, to be ritually recited as part of the celebrations of Passover; the term also refers to a book containing these texts, the only Hebrew book with a long and consistent tradition of illustration. Most of the illustrated manuscript Haggadot date from the 14th and 15th centuries, a famous example being the Sarajevo Haggadah (National Mus. Sarajevo), produced in Spain in the 14th century. Illustrated printed texts of the Haggadah were produced from 1516; editions published in Prague (1526), Mantua (1560, 1568), Venice (1609), and Amsterdam (1695) are among the most artistically noteworthy. Ben Shahn is among the artists who have illustrated more modern editions.

haggadah
haggadah Imaginative interpretation of the OT, excluding sections concerning the Law. Legends, parables, and anecdotes about historical figures (Abraham, Moses, etc.) proliferate; the purpose is to make the stories come alive for the author's own generation. Something of the method is at work in the books of Chronicles, and it was practised in NT times at Qumran and within the NT by Matt. (in chs. 1 and 2). Evidence that other NT writers were familiar with haggadic material is in Paul's reference to the Law being given by angels rather than directly by God (Gal. 3: 19) and to the legend of Michael the archangel in Jude 9.

Haggadah
Haggadah (Heb., ‘telling’; equivalent to aggadah, and often used in that general sense). The order of service prescribed for the Jewish Passover seder.
Extra songs, poetry, and elaborations have been added to the original Haggadah over the years and, since the time of Rashi, commentaries on the text have been produced. The progressive movements have produced their own versions, amending the text in accordance with their own theology, and there is also a Karaite version. |
