Next Year in Jerusalem from the Barcelona Haggadah
Not on view
The concluding line of the Haggadah, the liturgical text of the Passover Seder commemorating the Exodus from Egypt, proclaims: "Next Year in Jerusalem." This shining declaration explicitly locates future redemption in the Holy City. A hare, often appearing in Hebrew manuscripts as the symbol of a persecuted people, rests peacefully between the vines, secure in the Jerusalem of the coming age.
