The Haggadah, a liturgical work used in Jewish homes around the world for the yearly Passover celebration, is the most widely published Jewish liturgical book and has appeared in countless forms over the years. Around 40 pages in length, the Haggadah's traditional text is in Hebrew but is often accompanied by translations into the vernacular or occasionally appears only in the vernacular. Thousands of extant editions have been cataloged, and many more uncatalogued editions come to light each year in addition to new editions which are continually being published. Haggadot have been printed in nearly every country where Jews have lived and in nearly every language Jews have spoken.
