Pictures Tell: The Passover Haggadah

Like the Haggadah text itself, the photographs of Zion Ozeri reflect the essence of Jewish connection – an unbreakable bond with the past, with the customs, beliefs, and traditions that have sustained us, and with an almost tangible sense of Jewish peoplehood. These sheets pair Ozeri’s images with key Haggadah texts to help illuminate both. The photographs on these sheets are not mere illustrations; they are visual commentaries – “texts” in their own right – that speak to, expand on, challenge, and re-contextualize the words that have been so carefully handed down through the generations.
