The National Library of Israel recently discovered within its collections a unique, handwritten Judeo-Persian Haggadah from the 1800s, containing a poem praising Lady Judith and Sir Moses Montefiore, who worked actively to save Persian Jewish communities from persecution and starvation. Dr. Chaim Neria, Curator of NLI's Haim and Hanna Solomon Judaica Collection, told KAN's Naomi Segal that the dedication highlights how even while facing hardship, the community felt part of the broader Jewish collective.
