✦ English

Ḥukkat ha-Pesaḥ (חקת הפסח) is a Judeo-Arabic paraphrase of the piyyutim and memorial verses recited on the nights of the Passover seder, composed by Rabbi Abraham Ankawa (printed 1843). The work illustrates the role of Maghrebi rabbis as transmitters of the liturgy in the vernacular, close to the faithful. Sources: Encyclopaedia Judaica, 'Ankawa, Abraham ben Mordecai'; Sh.
