From Zulu to Abkhaz - MEDIA CENTER
|
25 years in the making ...
One of the most amazing books ever ... The most languages for any Jewish ritual text! What!? The result of a quest by two friends passionate about Judaism, Passover and languages, this book shows translations of the Seder's Four Questions into hundreds of languages spanning the globe: Jews from Uganda to Uzbekistan, aboriginals in Australia, Eskimo Bishops, Maori from New Zealand, experts of important ancient languages and sign languages. In the Foreword, Theodore Bikel raves that he "takes great delight in this book." Seder Puzzles and Games Make a multi-cultural seder like none you've ever experienced. Photographs, images and drawings from 120 countries, as well as fascinating information about the languages, speakers and translators. CD has recording highlights and quizzes. DVD shows 4 Sign Languages, the full set of recordings, quizzes, games and much more. A World Tour Learn about languages you've never heard of, spoken by millions of people, and languages spoken by hundreds or less. Native Americans, African, nearly forgotten languages of Jewish heritage, ancient, invented - the sounds of all humankind, asking the same questions. A modern Rosetta Stone!

"Your family's got the Four Questions down pat ... How about a challenge this year? As in asking the questions in Latin or Thai or Norwegian. How about Zulu, Tulu or Judeo-Iraqi? ... (A) favorite is Lawyerese: 'Why is this night, defined as that period of time commencing at sundown according to readily established almanac norms ...' Imagine teaching that to your 3-year-old!"

"Nu? Nothing changes you say? Why not make your seder a little different this year? ... Even if you don't intend to make your seder different as we plan to, the colorful illustrations, facts, and two companion disks of this book make for enjoyable reading and listening.
