The Santa Cruz Haggadah is a user-friendly Passover Haggadah based on the concept that we should not only look back in history to when we were slaves and then freed, but that we should also connect in with other groups who are needing freedom or protection now - eg the homeless, the redwoods, those discriminated against because of their age, sex, sexual preferences, etc. - and with the ways in which we enslave ourselves now through the risks we don't take, the words and actions we keep repeating, the questions we don't ask, etc.The Leader's versions (the complete versions) provide the leader with help in tailoring a seder to the expected participants; a ten-minute or ten-hour seder can be designed. The Participant's version provides attendees with all that they need to participate in the seder. The Kids' Passover Fun Book serves as: (1) a haggadah for little kids; (2) an Afikomen present for middle-aged kids (6 - 11); (3) a distraction tool for unruly kids at a s! eder; or (4) a violence-free and God-neutral teaching tool for parents and/or teachers. The Deluxe edition of the Santa Cruz Haggadah makes a wonderful present; the contents are the same as the regular leaders but the paper on which it is printed is a very beautiful heavy-weight purple and the cover is gold-foiled.

About the Author
Karen G.R.Roekard is a Yeshivah of Flatbush (Brooklyn) educated spiritual leader and community developer in the San Francisco Bay area. In her late adolescence, she abandoned the Orthodoxy for 18 years while she took a grand tour of other spiritual traditions; it was through her connections with Reb Zalman Schacter-Shalomi, the Jewish Renewal Movement and the Aquarian Minyan of Berkeley that she returned. The Santa Cruz Haggadah emerged out of many years of running Seders based on the concept of personal spiritual search; as of February 1999, over 40,000 copies have been sold.

This review is from: The Santa Cruz Haggadah: Participants Version (Paperback)
The Santa Cruz Haggadah brought a meaning to our Passover Seder that we had never had before. It took an ancient story and made it alive for us today. The humor it brought to the service kept the children involved and interested, and certain portions brought tears to the eyes of the adult participants. It is a joyous and insightful way to look inside of ourselves and celebrate a beautiful holiday.
