Description from Publisher
Each Pesach we seek ways to make the Seder different and stimulating,
being faithful to pedagogy and halacha at the same time. Here is a
fascinating Haggadah for all Pesachs, demonstrating how to be both
halachic and creative, while learning and having fun in the process.
- Rabbi Haskel Lookstein, Orthodox, Principal of the RAMAZ School, NYC
A Different Night is to my mind the best and most interesting
Haggadah to appear in many years. The authors have managed to structure
the book in imaginative ways that engage family members of all ages in
serious and engaging discussions that explore the ever expanding meanings
of the Passover Haggadah. The book is truly a delight.
- Dr. Barry W. Holtz Associate Professor of Jewish Education,
Jewish Theological Seminary of America
This rich Haggadah enables Jews to connect with their tradition in deeply
personal ways, while at the same time opening the tradition to Jews,
showing it to be responsive and flexible. As I prepared for Pesach last
year, this Haggadah taught me that our most important heritage is to
question. It opened our Seder to deep and exciting discussions.
- Rabbi Rachel Cowan, Reform Director of Jewish Life Program, Nathan Cummings Foundation

The Passover Journey :
A Seder Companion
By Barbara Diamond Goldin
A lovely book that's intended as a companion to, rather than a substitute
for, a Passover Haggadah. The text is divided into two sections: one deals
with the biblical stories and ancient rabbinic writings (Midrashim) telling
of Moses's birth and how he was able to lead the Jewish people out of
enslavement; the second discusses the Seder service and various traditions
surrounding it. Well-researched, and written in simple but effective language,
this will be welcomed in general collections, by families wanting to enrich
their understanding and celebration of Passover, and by synagogues and
religious schools. Waldman's watercolors are quietly handsome--even when
depicting the plagues that were sent to scourge the Egyptians. Useful and
attractive.

Why on This Night?:
A Passover Haggadah for Family Celebration
Teaming their considerable talents, Musleah and August offer a stop-and-take-notice
version of the book used to lead families through the seder, the home service, and
the festive meal that opens the eight-day Passover celebration. Subtle reminders of
the holiday's celebration of freedom are enfolded into Musleah's poetic
explanations of the symbolic foods and traditions, as well as questions that encourage
participation in the celebration. The Hebrew prayers are gender neutral and written
with transliterations and English translations so everyone can be involved in the
service. The scores and lyrics of traditional songs, as well as illuminating
comments about their meanings, are included, and songs set to melodies such as
"Yankee Doodle," add a lighthearted touch for children. There are also folk stories
and a brief, four-act play. August's jubilant, signature linocuts, printed in oils
on rice paper, bloom in the colors and stylized images of spring and the Middle East's
flowers and fruits. Their luminous colors and rich textures lend a radiance to the
majestic depiction of the seder plate and wrap the images of G-d's intervention to
free the Israelites in spirituality. The vibrant writing and artistic creativity of
this memorable collaboration vitalize an ancient Jewish tradition for contemporary
children.

A Passover Haggadah
by Elie Wiesel & Mark Podwal
A Passover Haggadah, retelling the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt, guides families every year through their Passover Seder. A Passover Haggadah faithfully renders the entire text of story, prayer, and song, with commentary by Elie Wiesel. Expertly interwoven, Wiesel's commentary (recalling memories of his own boyhood Seders and reflecting on Israel's place in the modern world) may be read aloud, along with the traditional text, in whole or in part. Drawings by Mark Powdal add joyous, fearsome, and poignant moments to the reader's experience throughout. At the beginning, just before the recitation of the Kiddush, one illustration depicts a contemporary Seder table whose length stretches into a path crossing a huge picture of the desert of ancient Egypt. The scene in the book is the beginning of the journey, the table is the destination, and, with this beautiful Haggadah, the story continues among us.

Family Haggadah
By Nosson Scherman
Combines economy, accuracy, and the famed ArtScroll elegance. Printed in two colors, it includes the full text and ArtScroll translation, plus instructions, notes and an introduction. Convenient and inexpensive; ideal for groups.
Description from Publisher
Over the years, there have been many haggadahs which have used plain English translations & commentaries but have given tradition a short shrift. Like other Artscroll products, this haggadah is 100% traditional. The most Orthodox families can use it. However, the translations and commentaries are clear so that all families, including those with little religious background, can have a rewarding seder experience. I have looked over this haggadah very carefully and after consultation with my family, we have decided to make the switch this year.

The Santa Cruz Haggadah (Participant's Edition)
Santa Cruz Haggadah Kids Passover Fun Book
The Santa Cruz Haggadah (Leader's Edition)
The Santa Cruz Haggadah is a user-friendly Passover Haggadah
based on the concept that we should not only look back in history
to when we were slaves and then freed, but that we should also
connect in with other groups who are needing freedom or protection
now - eg the homeless, the redwoods, those discriminated against
because of their age, sex, sexual preferences, etc. - and with the
ways in which we enslave ourselves now through the risks we don't
take, the words and actions we keep repeating, the questions we
don't ask, etc.
The Leader's versions (the complete versions) provide
the leader with help in tailoring a seder to the expected participants; a
ten-minute or ten-hour seder can be designed.
The Participant's version
provides attendees with all that they need to participate in the seder.
The Kids' Passover Fun Book serves as: (1) a haggadah for little kids;
(2) an Afikomen present for middle-aged kids (6 - 11); (3) a distraction
tool for unruly kids at a seder; or (4) a violence-free teaching tool
for parents and/or teachers.

We Tell It to Our Children :
The Story of Passover: A Haggadah for Seders With Young Children
By Mary Ann Wark
This book was written by a Mom for her own young child 15 years ago and is now in its fourth
printing. As Rabbi Leigh Lerner said in the introduction:..."The Passover story you will create
from this Haggadah is filled with action: people who have feelings, ideas that become concrete,
symbols that are related to a story...From experience I know that it is good for home use, a perfect
addition to the religious school curriculum, and perhaps above all-- downright fun for adults,too."This
child-tested book helps to make the Passover seder joyful and not a drawn-out ordeal because all
the participants are actively engaged in telling the exodus story using the script in this Haggadah.To
attract and hold a child's attention, it features cut-out paper doll puppets (Pharaoh, Slave, Yocheved,
Miriam, Princess, Taskmaster, Moses, Aaron and sheep), songs based on American folk tunes (like
"Clementine" and "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain"), even large print for easy reading. Entire
families can act out this vivid story, with children as young as two playing the non-reading role of the
sheep. The traditional order of the seder is changed to put the ritual foods back into the story so they
can be easily understood. The user-friendly information (recipes and how-tos) make it easily used by
intermarrieds. Endorsed by rabbis, and religious educators. The Leader edition has all 9 puppets in
the back; the Guest edition has the same script/no puppets.

The Inter-Faith Family Seder Book
By Nan Meyer
Nan Meyer is to be congratulated! She has written a Haggadah with which Jewish families can welcome their non-Jewish friends and relatives to the Seder table. But in the process she has produced a Seder book that many Jews who have lost touch with but wish to return to their culture will find inviting to use. The Inter-Faith Family Seder Book is not only entirely user-friendly, it also provides practical suggestions for preparation and conduction of the Seder, and it gives the Seder service in a step-by-step, easy to follow sequence. In an era where Jews are becoming increasingly assimilated into the population, through both intermarriage and simple acculturation, it's easy to lose touch with their heritage. Getting back in touch with it can be difficult. However, this Haggadah can ease the retunr. It is very comfortable to use. It is in no way intimidating, the Hebrew that is used appropriately is also used sparingly, but in ways that are familiar. It is as appropriate to the ex-patriot Jews who wish to return as it is to non-Jews. Nan Meyer has made an important social contribution with her Haggadah.
Description from Amazon.com Customer Review
I originally wrote this book so that my Christian daughters-in-law would know what was going on and would be comfortable at our family's Seder table. As I worked I discovered that in traditional haggadahs (the manual used to direct the Seder), the Exodus tale was not told as much as referred to. So I set out to tell the story (as the Bible commands: "and you shall tell your child"). And, I incorporated in the telling all the facts we now know: i.e.: how long the Jews were in Egypt, the name of the pharaoh, etc. I also stripped away repetition (to do something once is meaningful; to do it two or more times is boring, especially to the children, and it's for them the story is told). I edited down long passages, and wrote and substituted songs wherever possible. Instead of reading about the troubles the Jews had in Egypt, I wrote the story to the tune of Old Man River which everyone sings. The Four Questions, which must be asked by the youngest person at the table, is set to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star ... which a four year old can learn, even if he doesn't or she doesn't have someone to teach the Hebrew version.
I also incorporated into the telling all the explanations we have been giving for years to our non-Jewish guests. The supper is meant to be a learning lesson about how the Jews left Egypt. In my book, it is told with songs, games and special foods. Friends heard about my project and had sent me the customs and materials used in their Seders. After the book was written and electronically published, I gave copies of it to my family and sent the contributing friends copies of my finished project. To my amazement, orders began to pour in. With 72% of Jews marrying out of faith, everyone was related to or knew of someone who would like to read The Inter-Faith Family Seder Book.

Each Pesach we seek ways to make the Seder different and stimulating, being faithful to pedagogy and halacha at the same time. Here is a fascinating Haggadah for all Pesachs, demonstrating how to be both halachic and creative, while learning and having fun in the process. A Different Night is to my mind the best and most interesting Haggadah to appear in many years. The authors have managed to structure the book in imaginative ways that engage family members of all ages in serious and engaging discussions that explore the ever expanding meanings of the Passover Haggadah. The book is truly a delight. This rich Haggadah enables Jews to connect with their tradition in deeply personal ways, while at the same time opening the tradition to Jews, showing it to be responsive and flexible. As I prepared for Pesach last year, this Haggadah taught me that our most important heritage is to question. It opened our Seder to deep and exciting discussions.

The Passover Journey : A Seder Companion By Barbara Diamond Goldin |
A lovely book that's intended as a companion to, rather than a substitute
for, a Passover Haggadah. The text is divided into two sections: one deals
with the biblical stories and ancient rabbinic writings (Midrashim) telling
of Moses's birth and how he was able to lead the Jewish people out of
enslavement; the second discusses the Seder service and various traditions
surrounding it. Well-researched, and written in simple but effective language,
this will be welcomed in general collections, by families wanting to enrich
their understanding and celebration of Passover, and by synagogues and
religious schools. Waldman's watercolors are quietly handsome--even when
depicting the plagues that were sent to scourge the Egyptians. Useful and
attractive.

Why on This Night?: A Passover Haggadah for Family Celebration |
Teaming their considerable talents, Musleah and August offer a stop-and-take-notice
version of the book used to lead families through the seder, the home service, and
the festive meal that opens the eight-day Passover celebration. Subtle reminders of
the holiday's celebration of freedom are enfolded into Musleah's poetic
explanations of the symbolic foods and traditions, as well as questions that encourage
participation in the celebration. The Hebrew prayers are gender neutral and written
with transliterations and English translations so everyone can be involved in the
service. The scores and lyrics of traditional songs, as well as illuminating
comments about their meanings, are included, and songs set to melodies such as
"Yankee Doodle," add a lighthearted touch for children. There are also folk stories
and a brief, four-act play. August's jubilant, signature linocuts, printed in oils
on rice paper, bloom in the colors and stylized images of spring and the Middle East's
flowers and fruits. Their luminous colors and rich textures lend a radiance to the
majestic depiction of the seder plate and wrap the images of G-d's intervention to
free the Israelites in spirituality. The vibrant writing and artistic creativity of
this memorable collaboration vitalize an ancient Jewish tradition for contemporary
children.

A Passover Haggadah by Elie Wiesel & Mark Podwal |
A Passover Haggadah, retelling the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt, guides families every year through their Passover Seder. A Passover Haggadah faithfully renders the entire text of story, prayer, and song, with commentary by Elie Wiesel. Expertly interwoven, Wiesel's commentary (recalling memories of his own boyhood Seders and reflecting on Israel's place in the modern world) may be read aloud, along with the traditional text, in whole or in part. Drawings by Mark Powdal add joyous, fearsome, and poignant moments to the reader's experience throughout. At the beginning, just before the recitation of the Kiddush, one illustration depicts a contemporary Seder table whose length stretches into a path crossing a huge picture of the desert of ancient Egypt. The scene in the book is the beginning of the journey, the table is the destination, and, with this beautiful Haggadah, the story continues among us.

activities that actively involve children in the Passover Seder, children will

along with the leader. As they flip through the pages of the book they will learn
all about the order of the Seder and the rituals associated with it.. They will
delight in activities such as decorating a Seder invitation, completing dot-to-dots,
and discovering why and how we celebrate Passover. Don’t be surprised if this
book doesn’t just stay at the “kid’s” table! Teachers can also make learning fun
in the classroom by using this book to teach about Passover.

Family Haggadah By Nosson Scherman |
Combines economy, accuracy, and the famed ArtScroll elegance. Printed in two colors, it includes the full text and ArtScroll translation, plus instructions, notes and an introduction. Convenient and inexpensive; ideal for groups.
Over the years, there have been many haggadahs which have used plain English translations & commentaries but have given tradition a short shrift. Like other Artscroll products, this haggadah is 100% traditional. The most Orthodox families can use it. However, the translations and commentaries are clear so that all families, including those with little religious background, can have a rewarding seder experience. I have looked over this haggadah very carefully and after consultation with my family, we have decided to make the switch this year.

The Santa Cruz Haggadah (Participant's Edition) Santa Cruz Haggadah Kids Passover Fun Book The Santa Cruz Haggadah (Leader's Edition) |
The Santa Cruz Haggadah is a user-friendly Passover Haggadah
based on the concept that we should not only look back in history
to when we were slaves and then freed, but that we should also
connect in with other groups who are needing freedom or protection
now - eg the homeless, the redwoods, those discriminated against
because of their age, sex, sexual preferences, etc. - and with the
ways in which we enslave ourselves now through the risks we don't
take, the words and actions we keep repeating, the questions we
don't ask, etc.
The Leader's versions (the complete versions) provide the leader with help in tailoring a seder to the expected participants; a ten-minute or ten-hour seder can be designed. The Participant's version provides attendees with all that they need to participate in the seder. The Kids' Passover Fun Book serves as: (1) a haggadah for little kids; (2) an Afikomen present for middle-aged kids (6 - 11); (3) a distraction tool for unruly kids at a seder; or (4) a violence-free teaching tool for parents and/or teachers.

We Tell It to Our Children : The Story of Passover: A Haggadah for Seders With Young Children By Mary Ann Wark |
This book was written by a Mom for her own young child 15 years ago and is now in its fourth
printing. As Rabbi Leigh Lerner said in the introduction:..."The Passover story you will create
from this Haggadah is filled with action: people who have feelings, ideas that become concrete,
symbols that are related to a story...From experience I know that it is good for home use, a perfect
addition to the religious school curriculum, and perhaps above all-- downright fun for adults,too."This
child-tested book helps to make the Passover seder joyful and not a drawn-out ordeal because all
the participants are actively engaged in telling the exodus story using the script in this Haggadah.To
attract and hold a child's attention, it features cut-out paper doll puppets (Pharaoh, Slave, Yocheved,
Miriam, Princess, Taskmaster, Moses, Aaron and sheep), songs based on American folk tunes (like
"Clementine" and "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain"), even large print for easy reading. Entire
families can act out this vivid story, with children as young as two playing the non-reading role of the
sheep. The traditional order of the seder is changed to put the ritual foods back into the story so they
can be easily understood. The user-friendly information (recipes and how-tos) make it easily used by
intermarrieds. Endorsed by rabbis, and religious educators. The Leader edition has all 9 puppets in
the back; the Guest edition has the same script/no puppets.

The Inter-Faith Family Seder Book By Nan Meyer |
Nan Meyer is to be congratulated! She has written a Haggadah with which Jewish families can welcome their non-Jewish friends and relatives to the Seder table. But in the process she has produced a Seder book that many Jews who have lost touch with but wish to return to their culture will find inviting to use. The Inter-Faith Family Seder Book is not only entirely user-friendly, it also provides practical suggestions for preparation and conduction of the Seder, and it gives the Seder service in a step-by-step, easy to follow sequence. In an era where Jews are becoming increasingly assimilated into the population, through both intermarriage and simple acculturation, it's easy to lose touch with their heritage. Getting back in touch with it can be difficult. However, this Haggadah can ease the retunr. It is very comfortable to use. It is in no way intimidating, the Hebrew that is used appropriately is also used sparingly, but in ways that are familiar. It is as appropriate to the ex-patriot Jews who wish to return as it is to non-Jews. Nan Meyer has made an important social contribution with her Haggadah.
I originally wrote this book so that my Christian daughters-in-law would know what was going on and would be comfortable at our family's Seder table. As I worked I discovered that in traditional haggadahs (the manual used to direct the Seder), the Exodus tale was not told as much as referred to. So I set out to tell the story (as the Bible commands: "and you shall tell your child"). And, I incorporated in the telling all the facts we now know: i.e.: how long the Jews were in Egypt, the name of the pharaoh, etc. I also stripped away repetition (to do something once is meaningful; to do it two or more times is boring, especially to the children, and it's for them the story is told). I edited down long passages, and wrote and substituted songs wherever possible. Instead of reading about the troubles the Jews had in Egypt, I wrote the story to the tune of Old Man River which everyone sings. The Four Questions, which must be asked by the youngest person at the table, is set to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star ... which a four year old can learn, even if he doesn't or she doesn't have someone to teach the Hebrew version. I also incorporated into the telling all the explanations we have been giving for years to our non-Jewish guests. The supper is meant to be a learning lesson about how the Jews left Egypt. In my book, it is told with songs, games and special foods. Friends heard about my project and had sent me the customs and materials used in their Seders. After the book was written and electronically published, I gave copies of it to my family and sent the contributing friends copies of my finished project. To my amazement, orders began to pour in. With 72% of Jews marrying out of faith, everyone was related to or knew of someone who would like to read The Inter-Faith Family Seder Book.
