Why is this Night Different from all Other Nights? / This fascinating, informative, and beautifully illustrated book translates the Passover seder¿s Four Question into 23 languages and provides capsule histories of the Jews in the countries where the languages are spoken. The recitation of the Four Questions at the beginning of the Passover seder by the youngest participant is one of the highlights of the evening. This vol. covers a variety of languages of the Jewish Diaspora -- from French to Farsi, from Latin to Ladino, from Amharic to Afrikaans, from Yiddish to Swedish to Chinese. For each language, a translation of the Four Questions is provided, accompanied by an overview of Jewish life and culture among the speakers of the language, and an illustration of either historical or contemporary interest.
