"Tel Yitzchak" Passover Haggadah – Rabbi Isaac Besançon Breslover – Magnificent Haggadah, Signed and Numbered Copy
"Tel Yitzchak" Passover Haggadah. Jerusalem: P.M. Judaic'art International Publishers, [1997].
Large format Passover Haggadah, created by R' Israel Isaac Besançon (B.1944), a Breslov rabbi and rabbi of "Shir Hadash" congregation, on Sheinkin Street in Tel-Aviv, a prominent disciple and scholar of R' Israel Dov Odesser "Ba'al HaPetek". Besançon signes in the end of the Haggadah "written and illustrated by Yitzchak Besançon Breslover". R' Besançon started his artistic carrer when still very young and during the years developed a unique artistic style painting Jewish themes, as can be seen in the Haggadah presented here.
The Haggadah is very artistic, printed on heavy paper and bound in a remarkable leather Bordeaux-colored binding, with a sawn metal plaque on the front with the inscription "Haggadah shel Pesach" (in the original case). The text was written by Besançon in fine hand writing and is accompanied by colorful, large and remarkable illustrations. This is copy number 314 out of an edition of 500 copies numbered and signed by Besançon and by the publisher, Asher Méné. [69] pp (64 with a full- page spread illustration), 40 cm. Very good condition. Attached is a certificate of authenticity signed by the publisher.
