Comprising the First Haggadah printed in America with a translation by an American Jew. Leeser's comprehensive prayer book was the very first American publication containing the liturgy for the entire year. It contains the original Hebrew text and a complete English translation. The Haggadah, found in volume 5 of this set, represents a new translation with a new spirit, entirely conceived for American Jews, thus making this the first truly American Haggadah.
