Here's something that was actually a good idea: how to have a Seder. Now, that's not to say that there are not other books out there that explain how to make a Seder, and some that do so more in-depth, but for the individual who are just getting into the business of making a Passover Seder will be more than overwhelmed, especially the Christian who just wants to experience Pesach because of the Last Super. In my experience, there are very few guides that tell a Christian how to make a Seder in practical terms and do so with a Christian nod. And it are the practical terms that are the most important part of the book. Most Jewish leader's guides or commentaries presuppose a basic knowledge of how Passover works, whereas most Christians do not even know what a Baytzah is let alone where it goes on the Seder plate. For this reason, the Preparation Guide is great because of the very basic way the information is presented, and that the presentation is made in a Christian context. Of course, my biggest complaint with this pamphlet (and that's what you've got here) is that it's not a full sized book. There is so much information that is either glossed over or just completely ignored for whatever reason, but I suppose mostly for reasons of space. Still, for the price, it can't be beat.

I am preparing to hostess my very first Passover Seder and this guide has given me step by step instructions for the perfect Seder.

This Haggadah is simple to follow and presents the reader with some excellent insights into the "Last Supper" that Yeshua (Jesus) celebrated with His talmidim (disciples).

I not only recommend this book for Messianic Congregations to follow in celebrating their Passover Seder, but also to Christian churches who wish to celebrate the Lord's Table in a manner that comes close to that in the early "church" before it lost its Jewishness.

This book MUST be identified as a Christian publication. It inserts Jesus into the Jewish Passover. Very offensive to Jews.

This book is meant to mislead readers by claiming that it is possible to be Jewish and believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Readers should be aware that the Jewish community has shunned so-called "Messianic Judaism" because it intends to convert Jews to Christianity.

Those who are truly interested in learning about the Jewish religion should steer clear of the "Jews for Jesus" movement, and head towards the major mainstream movements of Judaism: Reform, Conservative, Orthodox and Reconstructionist, which offer authentic Jewish practice and Jewish life, or should consult a real rabbi or synagogue.
