Scope and Contents

Moss writes "The four children of the Passover Haggadah intrigue us every year...We now open the folder and we see these four children in a rather unconventional treatment...The unification of the folksy and the literate are embodied here. For each of these primitive looking four children is actually a Hebrew word. When turned on its side and opened, each one's title magically appears: Chacham - the Wise one; Rasha - the Wicked one; Tam the Simple one and SHYL - the one who dooes not know how to ask." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
