5.0 out of 5 stars A super seder!, February 15, 2000

By	"karben" (Denver) - See all my reviews

The most user-friendly haggadah around. Perfect for seders with young and old, Jewish and non Jewish participants. Plenty of provocative discussion questions to make each seder different. We had enthusiastic participation from the kids and adults and can't wait to use it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Includes good readings for children, April 5, 2001

By	Larry Mark "editor of MyJewishBooks.com" (nyc) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

A RIGHT TO LEFT version Haggadah. In green, red and black text. Includes mostly English readings and translations with some Hebrew for the most well known paragraphs (Avadim Hayeenu, blessings), and English transliterations for blessings. The English in non-sexist (gender neutral) and within the grasp of school age children. Certain passages are tagged with icons to note "songs", "plan ahead activities", and "for young children." It opens with a Seder checklist to make sure you have all the items for a good seder. The seder text follows. The Four Sons are Four CHILDREN. Children are prompted to tell the table how they would explain Passover to each of the four children. Dayenu is abbreviated and in English. Includes English Grace After Meals, Counting of the Omer, and an abbreviated Hallel. Includes Adir Hu, Echad Mi Yodea, Chad Gadya, A Fifth Cup for Israel, and Hatikva. Most of the readings are in English.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the Best Seder Ever!!, April 10, 2001

By	Nan Udell (Seguin, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This Haggadah was so perfect for everyone in our very diverse congregation. It contains all the traditional elements, but allows those who don't understand the Hebrew, not only to follow along, but to understand and to participate. We had so much fun, and almost everyone said it was the best Seder they had ever attended.
