Why is this night different from all other nights? Every year when
families gather for the Passover holiday, the youngest child poses
that question as part of the poetic Four Questions near the start
of the Seder. The answers are no less than the story of a people
bound in slavery, their suffering in a foreign land, and their
ultimate liberation - the story of Passover. Here the Four
Questions are presented in breathtakingly luminous paintings by Ori
Sherman. Whimsical animals parade through a unique format that can
be read straight through in English or turned upside down to focus
on the delicate Hebrew calligraphy and ingenious split-frame
pictures. Each side of the Seder table can see its own variation of
the richly colored scenes as elephants eat matzoh, monkeys dip
herbs into water, and lions recline in newfound freedom. Author
Lynne Sharon Schwartz answers the questions with refreshing
clarity, providing insight into the symbols and rituals of the
holiday. Experience a glorious art book, a beautiful gift for the
kids who find the afikomen, and a wonderful way to experience
Passover and its unique celebration of freedom.
