5.0 out of 5 stars Colorful, clear journey through the Seder, April 7, 2010

My husband and I host a seder each year for a group of about 30 to 40 people. This year (2010), we used "A Family Haggadah II" for the first time. I found it very enjoyable and helpful. "Seder" means "order," and a good Haggadah is essential for following the order of Passover night. The clear illustrations of the Seder Plate were helpful for setting up our tables. Then we went around the tables, reading aloud from the Haggadah. We used the Hebrew text for the blessings and songs, and English text for the story. The headings in a large, blue font made it easy to keep track of where we were in the seder.

I thought the Haggadah did an excellent job of conveying the story of Passover and also the meanings behind the rituals. Several of our visitors were not familiar with Passover and this was a good way for them to learn about it. While we did not read aloud the supplementary material and notes, I was told by participants that they enjoyed reading that on their own. The books are well-constructed and slim, and small spills can be easily cleaned off the front and back covers. The affordable price meant we were able to provide a Haggadah for almost everyone at the tables. We plan to use them again for many years to come.

My family was pleased with our purchase of A Family Haddadah II: A Seder for All Ages. This hagaddah provides a contemporary translation of the Passover story and was positively received by both young adult and elder participents. It was a definite enhancement to this year's seders.

Although the page numbers don't match the old edition, you can use them together at a Seder. Some of the changes are interesting.
