When Reform Judaism shaped its first official prayer book , The Union Prayer Book , the model chosen was Einhorn's Olat Tamid. The first American edition of the Passover Haggadah was published by Solomon Henry Jackson in New York in 1837. A truly American note is found in a Haggadah published in New York in 1878. The text is traditional, the translation usual, but the seder table scene is new.
Haggadah illustration is commentary.
