Archives Unveiled: Passover Haggadot

Join the ASU Library for an open house inside Hayden Library’s Wurzburger Reading Room. On Thursday, March 20, we will explore selections from the library’s Judaica rare books collection with Rachel Leket-Mor of the Curation and Research Services team. The Haggadah—a Hebrew word for "telling" (plural: Haggadot)—is a performative text that retells the biblical Exodus story while being read, sung, and enacted during the Passover Seder (the Jewish holiday procedural meal). Bring a friend and stop by to discover the ASU Library Haggadot collection, including traditional and not-so-traditional items inspired by popular culture.
