This Haggadah has something for everyone in our family. It allows us the flexibility to tailor our Seder to those who attend. My young children especially enjoy looking at the illustrations the author has included. The adults in our family find the extra readings included to add special meaning to the Seder. This Haggadah is easy to read and follow and has wonderful explainations to help when our non-Jewish friends join us for our Seder service. It even includes preparation instructions for Passover. This is the only Haggadah our family uses!

We used this Haggadah at our Sedar this Passover with our two non-Jewish guests and found it full of interesting information and explanations. Very informative for our guests and us too! It has a number of more egalitarian adaptations, very appropriately inclusive for girls as well as boys. I particularly enjoyed the fact that there were both short and long versions of the rituals - helps when you have to be concerned with time. Nice illustrations too! Seems to have everything you might need for your Sedar.
