Chicagoan Stephen Durchslag has assembled more than 4,500 Passover texts likely the world’s largest private collection in his North Side apartment: ‘It’s a project of a lifetime.’ Nara Schoenberg, Chicago Tribune © Jose M. Osorio/Chicago Tribune These texts from the 1700s are part of Stephen Durchslag s collection of Haggadot at his home in Chicago. It was 1984 when Stephen Durchslag spotted a 200-year-old Haggada, or Passover text, in a New York bookstore. The detailed illustrations of biblical scenes and holiday preparations were beautiful, he said. The origins of the work intrigued him. And then there was the nostalgia factor. The Haggada brought back memories from Durchslag’s boyhood in Logan Square, when his mother would cook for days in preparation for the Jewish holiday commemorating deliverance from slavery in ancient Egypt.
