Schneerson Collection

A book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb." The Name of the Rose
The Shneerson collection remained uncataloged for several decades. Now when our cataloging work is well under way, we make fascinating discoveries and encounter unique books on daily basis, and we are eager to introduce these materials to the public.

Dear friends, we wish you a happy and fruitful, but most importantly a healthy new year! We hope that this year will bring you everything you have dreamed of and everything you have striven to.
This Rosh ha-shanah blessing from R. Yosef Yitzhak Schneerson was addressed to Shlomo Hanoch Henich in 1928. Hopefully it will cheep you up in these uncertain COVID-times!
Shanah tovah u-metukah!

Depiction of the Temple is an inseparable part of every Passover Haggadah demonstrating redemption in the Messianic era.
The first picture below is taken from the Haggadah printed in Pisa, 1801, which follows the tradition of the famous 1609 Venice Haggadah coping from it the depiction of the Temple. It features the Messiah approaching the gates of Jerusalem and the prophet Elijah blowing the shofar. Both sun and moon appear on the both sides of the picture fulfilling the prophecy of Isaiah: "Thy sun shall no more set nor shall thy moon withdraw itself, for the Lord will be thy everlasting light and the days of thy mourning shall be ended."
The second picture comes from the Amsterdam Haggadah printed in 1765. It was inspired by the different tradition - the one of the 1695 Amsterdam Haggadah and features only the Temple, but not the Messiah.
