Sarajevo Haggadah

During this time of Holy Week and the Jewish celebration of Passover, I recently learned of a very historic, significant Haggadah which bears the sobriquet of Sarajevo. It has a fascinating story, and provides more texture of the culturally complex environment of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Eastern schism

Although I have read about the Orthodox Church over many years, it has an increased interest to me as we learn more about Bosnia-Herzegovina. It is important to both learn history and understand contemporary issues. This is very significant to the eastern church.
