A renowned 14th-century Haggadah is now available to browse on the
iPad, The Jewish Chronicle reported.
The medieval “Rylands Haggadah,” originally created in Spain, was
restored by experts at the University of Manchester’s John Rylands
Library.
The app features a narration by Rabbi Shlomo Ellituv, the minister
of the Spanish and Portuguese Congregation in Manchester.
“It’s a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn more about
Jewish culture,” explained Dr. Yaakov Wise, from the University of
Manchester’s Centre for Jewish Studies.
The Haggadah is currently on display at the “Medieval Jewish Art in
Context” exhibition in the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art in New
York City.
Each month, the Haggadah will be open to a different page, affording
visitors the opportunity to follow the artist´s telling of the Jewish
people’s exodus from the land of Egypt.
