The exquisitely decorated and illustrated Haggadot of late medieval Spain, exemplified by that now in Sarajevo, are among the most spectacular of all Jewish art forms of the past millennium.
Seder nights of 700 years ago come alive in this ever popular presentation, drawing upon contemporary European art as well as Talmud, Midrash and Jewish folklore.
Eli Abt is a practicing London architect, planner and musician well known for his talks and broadcasts in the UK and abroad on aspects of Jewish art and music.
