We also had an exhibit about the hidden messages in the Szyk Haggadah in the Lowy-Winkler Rare Book Center at AJU. Mr. Ungar gave a in depth look at the works of Arthur Szyk as part of that exhibit. There is so much more to this haggadah than pretty pictures. Those who are interested should get a copy of *Justice Illuminated : the art of Arthur Szyk *printed by the Arthur Szyk Society in 1999 or watch the 2008 DVD *In Every Generation : remaking the Szyk Haggadah.*
