'Haggadah' book tied to 'Prince of Egypt'
BY JULIE IRWIN
The Cincinnati Enquirer
If you liked the movie, you'll love the Haggadah.
The Prince of Egypt, the animated film released late last year, illustrates The Family Passover Haggadah, published by Circa Press and released in time for Passover. The book uses more than 100 full-color illustrations to retell the story of Moses and the Israelites' exodus from Egypt.
The ultimate movie tie-in, Haggadah contains traditional Hebrew text, English translation, a transliterated section and annotations. It also features a four-page center spread of the parting of the Red Sea.
The Haggadah is the liturgy for the Passover meal, containing the exodus story, commentary, psalms, hymns and instructions for the ritual. It continues to evolve, and there are countless versions available.
The Prince of Egypt was released in December as the first major animated project from DreamWorks Pictures. The movie was created by a team of 800 animators, and artist Michel Schwartz designed and provided extra artwork for the Haggadah.
Passover begins at sunset Wednesday.
The Family Passover Haggadah is $12.99 soft-cover and $19.99 hard-cover. Ordering information and sample pages are available at www.familyhaggadah.com or at (212) 613-8297.
