WBEZ Chicago
February 19, 2011
ILLINOIS -- Dr. Marc Michael Epstein will share stunning images from beautiful medieval haggadot, texts that tell of the Exodus from Egypt and outline the practices of the seder on February 22 in Chicago. Though the importance of these manuscripts is universally acknowledged, they contain a number of fascinating elements that have seldom been explored. Dr. Epstein examines them with fresh eyes and proposes new answers to long-unresolved questions concerning the meaning of the art within them and what this art says about broader issues in the Jewish experience.
