Abstract

-Had Gadya/The Only Kid: Facsimile of El Lissitsky's Edition of 1919, edited by Arnold J. Band, contains just what the title promises: the folksong" Had Gadya," which is traditionally sung at Ashkenazic seders, and the illustrated book that the Russian avant-garde artist El Lissitsky (1890--1941) made of it in 1919. Although the song is usually a hit with children, the book--packaged elegantly, accompanied by annotated thumbnail illustrations and a scholarly yet clear introduction about the Jewish cultural renaissance in Russia between 1912 and the early 1920s and its impact on Lissitsky--will probably be of most interest to admirers of Lissitsky's more mature work, who will be startled by the contrast in theme and style.
