Now, the Temple Mount comes to life before our eyes.An important work of scholarship and research.Rabbi Zalman Menachem Koren brings to this groundbreaking work a profound knowledge of the Mishnah, Talmud, and the classic commentaries, and a deep familiarity with modern archaeological findings.

The Seder night – the night of the Exodus from Egypt. We are going free.

.On the seder night we all need to undergo a change

How do we get to feel freedom? How can we get all the seder participants to internalize the idea of thanking God? How can we make the seder participatory and engaging when there are participants of different ages and levels? How can we be prepared for the laws of the seder night? How can we understand the laws, customs, and minute details of the seder night on a deep level?

You will find answers to all these questions in this Haggadah from the Sources from Rabbi Yosef Zvi Rimon, in depth and with clarity, along with impressive graphic design, accompanied by hundreds of images and illustrations that intertwine the seder experience throughout the generations, written in a friendly manner appropriate for all levels – from beginner to advance
