The Leipnik Haggadah was copied and illuminated by Joseph ben David of Leipnik, who produced at least thirteen handsome Haggadot manuscripts. Designed for use in the celebration of the Jewish seder, the ceremonial meal of the first evening—or first and second evenings—of Passover, the manuscript with texts in Hebrew, Yiddish, and Ladino is dated 1738 and was created in Altona or Hamburg. Its fifty miniatures of contemporary ceremonial and biblical subjects are mostly based on the engravings by Abraham Bar Jacob in the printed Amsterdam Haggadot of 1695 and 1712.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
