The story tells of a medieval Seder, at which two strangers arrive. Rabbi Abraham finds out during the meal that they have brought the bloody corpse of a baby to deposit under his table, He flees with his wife, the beautiful Sara. They travel to Frankfurt and join the ghetto there.
This was almost certainly deliberately left as 'a fragment'. Heine moves smoothly between the medieval setting and his own time. He depicts the various characters very well. The basic point of the story is Jewish life in the diaspora, and how the various people deal with the challenges involved. I suspect that the better you know German Jewish culture the more you would get out of it. I don't, but kept recognizing references to things I do know. This is a very carefully written text, with great depth.
It turns out that the Von-Geldern-Haggadah is probably not that useful for understanding Heine's text, but I enjoyed looking at it.
