About the Author
ALFRED J. KOLATCH, a graduate of the Teachers Institute of Yeshiva University and its College of Liberal Arts, was ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, which subsequently awarded him the Doctor of Divinity degree, honoris causa. From 1941 to 1948 he served as rabbi of congregations in Columbia, South Carolina, and Kew Gardens, New York, and as a chaplain in the United States Army. In 1948 he founded Jonathan David Publishers, of which he was also president and editor-in-chief.
Rabbi Kolatch authored numerous books, the most popular of which are Great Jewish Quotations, How to Live a Jewish Life, What Jews Say About God, and the best-selling Jewish Book of Why and its sequel, The Second Jewish Book of Why. Several of his works deal with nomenclature, about which he is an acknowledged authority. The New Name Dictionary and The Comprehensive Dictionary of English and Hebrew First Names are his most recent works on the subject. Other books by the author include Our Religion: The Torah, The Jewish Heritage Quiz Book, The Jewish Mourner's Book of Why, and Masters of the Talmud.
In addition to his scholarly work, Rabbi Kolatch served as president of the Association of Jewish Chaplains of the Armed Forces and as vice-president of the interdenominational Military Chaplains Association of the United States.

Good and affordable,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Family Seder (Paperback)
This Haggadah works well for our family. Our seders typically include children and some non-Jewish friends. The illustrations and explanations make the seder easy to follow and helps those who did not grow up celebrating Passover. Transliteration helps those who cannot read Hebrew read along. I wish the transiteration follwed the Hebrew text and didn't have yiddish pronunciation. Overall, it's a good value.
