The Haggadah includes the steps of the Seder with its rituals and liturgy in Hebrew, English, and transliteration, with art as commentary. Evocatively illuminated throughout with original artwork and thoughtful reflections, Out of the Narrows is a visually and thematically engaging addition to the genre. Jonathan Fass of The Jewish Book Council describes Out of the Narrows as "a visual feast ..."born out of the desire to connect the themes of Passover with the realities of celebrating the holiday dur¬ing the COVID pandemic" as well as "beautifully crafted."
