Pesach Haggadah sold for 100 thousand dollars

Judaica Network 'Malchut Waxberger', sold for Pesach a Hagadah for the amount of 100 thousand dollars. According to a report in 'Israel Today', the Haggadah was written and drawn by artist Yoel Waxberger and six painters, for three years. It is made of real parchment and gold ornaments weighing 24 carat are incorporated in it.

"The simple pages take six - seven hours and the more complicated – even 50 hours of work," said Waxberger in an interview. "If there wasn't a team working with me, it would take nine years to finish it."

The work was up for sale in the Bnei Brak company store over the past year. The buyer, whose identity is kept in secret by the company, is the CEO of a large international company.

"It's hard to part with the Haggadah," said the artist who invested three years of his life in it, "this is a work which one works on for so long and every time I enjoyed watching it and opening it, but the buyer was serious. We opened it and made a Lechayim."

The original work was duplicated by the company in another 100 copies, made of imitation parchment, and they sold for 1800 dollars each.
