Put an end to boring Seders. This is a great Haggadah, the best in years, perfect for anyone who wants to have intelligent comments to make at their Seder. Even for those who are familiar with the text of the Haggadah, there are many, many original thoughts that seem so obvious that you wonder why you didn't think of them yourself. The layout of the book makes it easy for those who use a non-traditional text at their Seder to find the texts relevant to their Seder and to use them.

Rabbi Laufer shows his talent as a master-teacher. He explores the traditional Hagaddah giving it a fresh meaning and relevance to our lives, while linking it even more closely to the biblical text in a unique and coherent manner.
This book will surely become a classic work.

This book is one of the best I've read. You can tell by the complete detail of the amazing information unfolded in this book that the author not only took great care in researching the topic but that he is also passionate about the profound meaning found in Passover. I have been touched greatly by this book. I thank the author greatly for writting this book and forever changing the meaning of Passover for me and my family and many families alike. You have to buy this book!

Rabbi Nathan Laufer presents Leading The Passover Journey: The Seder's Meaning Revealed, The Haggadah's Story Retold, brings the fifteen pieces of the traditional Seder into plain-terms, contemporary rendition of the Passover story. Combining scholarly insight with an uplifting conviction in the power and meaning of the Passover journey to reinforce one's Jewish identity and relationship with God, Leading The Passover Journey transforms the experience and the history behind it into a message readily accessible to readers of all backgrounds and levels of familiarity with Jewish tradition. Highly recommended particularly as an introductory to lay readers and novice scholars striving to better understand the Seder and the Haggadah's story.

I found this book so fascinating that I couldn't put it down! I will incorporate the book's teachings into my family's Seders this year. Rabbi Laufer takes the reader step-by-step through the Seder and offers many interesting insights along the way. A must read!

I found the author's story very insightful and compelling. It was presented as the only interpretation, though. I think it would have promoted a richer experience if different interpretations had been presented alongside each other.

This is the best book on the Passover Seder feast and all its symbolic meanings that I have ever seen. Author Rabbi Nathan Laufer finds the scriptural and historic roots to the foods and items on the Seder plate. His insights are genious, and very enlightening!
