"Each Pesach we seek ways to make the Seder different and stimulating, being faithful to pedagogy and halakha at the same time. Here is a fascinating Haggadah for all Pesachs, demonstrating how to be both halakhic and creative, while learning and having fun in the process."

Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, Orthodox, Principal of the RAMAZ School, NYC

The Leader's Guide

The Leader's Guide is an essential companion for the Seder leader interested in adding depth and breadth to his family Seder.

The Leader's Guide features: Practical advice on planning and preparing a participatory Seder. Shortcuts through the Seder - how to choose the right mix of traditional and innovative elements for a customized Seder, whether long or short. Background essays like Prof. Nahum Sarna's selection on Egyptian Slavery, and Rabbi David Hartman's on storytelling and family education. Resources for the advanced Seder leader - a symposium about the four children, the four questions in depth, famous quotes on slavery and freedom - to trigger a discussion at the Seder table. Short memoirs on great Seders and exoduses of the past (Ethiopia, Russia, Marranos, and more). Role playing for adults (by Peter Pitzele) and games for young children.
