Haggadah for Hag HaMazoth in the Tradition of Karaism

The Haggadah for Hag HaMazoth in the Tradition of Karaism: Passover Seder Leader's Edition, by Karaite Hakham Melech Rahmiel ben Ya'aqov, features verses (in both English and Hebrew) taken directly from the Tanach ("Hebrew Bible"), which tell the story of the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt, in keeping with the traditions of Karaism.

Originally compiled in 2011, and updated and enhanced continuously since then, a unique feature of the Haggadah is its visual appeal: it contains numerous breathtaking and stunning photos of the land of Israel, most of them taken by Ben Ya'aqov himself during his close to 20 years living in Israel, both in the Jerusalem area and, currently, in the Golan Heights region in the north of the country.

The Haggadah creates a unique opportunity to hold a Passover Seder in the Karaite custom, focusing on the original story of the Exodus, without unnecessary additions. It's perfect for those who truly love the Tanach in its purest form, with all the depth and meaning that the story of the Exodus holds.

Printed in beautiful hardcover, and using premium quality paper and ink, the Passover Seder Leader's Edition is perfect for use by the head of the Seder, and makes an excellent gift, family keepsake or coffee table book. Accompanied by copies of the Passover Seder Participant's Edition for the other participants, your Passover Seder this year will be a unique and unforgettable experience.

What is Karaism?

Karaism is an originalist approach towards Torah. The word "originalist" implies a close and precise reading of a text, in this case the Torah, without wide-ranging and creative interpretations. Originalists stick close to the original (not necessarily the literal!) meaning of a text, which can be literal, poetic, metaphorical or allegorical, depending on the context.

A second effective definition is that Karaism does not consider any text aside from the 24 books of the Tanach to have divine or canonical status. This is as opposed to the Rabbinical movement, which considers later writings such as the Mishnah, Talmud and Midrash to be canonical, and even to have divine or semi-divine status ("ruach ha-kodesh").

The idea of Karaism can be summed up as follows, "As a Karaite, I do not reject everything written in the Rabbinical (or any other) writings, but I do not accept everything. Instead, I filter each idea based on its own merit."
