Exhibit: The Many Faces and Figures of the Four Sons in the Passover Haggadah

The Four Sons of the Passover Haggadah can now be viewed in their many versions at a unique exhibit at the Jean & Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies. The exhibit, featuring 29 Haggadahs from the Irwin M. Alterman Haggadah Collection, will be on display through July. It includes Haggadahs of various shapes and sizes, ancient and modern, and in a number of different languages.

The Alterman collection was acquired by the University of Michigan Library last year with the help of the Frankel Center, and is housed in the Special Collections Library of the Harlan Hatcher Graduate Library. It includes more than 1,800 Haggadahs and is believed to be one of the largest Haggadah collections in the world. The unique compilation belonged to the late Irwin Alterman of West Bloomfield, and was donated by his widow, Marilyn McCall Alterman.
