5.0 out of 5 stars My family is switching to this Haggadah, March 24, 2001

By	David E. Levine (Peekskill , NY USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Over the years, there have been many haggadahs which have used plain English translations & commentaries but have given tradition a short shrift. Like other Artscroll products, this haggadah is 100 per cent traditional. The most orthodox families can use it. However, the translations and commentaries are clear so that all families, including those with little religious background, can have a rewarding seder experience. I have looked over this haggadah very carefully and after consultation with my family, we have decided to make the switch this year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference, March 6, 2003

By	Jack Turner - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a person who has studied Passover professionally (I wrote my senior thesis in college on the subject), I can tell you that there is probably no better deal on the market than this little gem. It's compact and inexpensive, yet is thoroughly Orthodox. Even though I use a different haggadah (and have a vast collection of different haggadot), I still use this one as a primary reference and as the one that says in my bag when I'm doing research. Of course, the price is unbeatable. You can get enough copies for an entire family before you've paid the price for one copy of just about any other haggadah. That makes this a fabulous package, and one that is well worth picking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy, Simple and Clear, January 10, 2006

By	Danny "dannyza" (JHB, South Africa) - See all my reviews

This handy Haggadah is a must have. It has clear instructions, a clear type, and an excellent translation (as one would expect from Artscroll). This past passover it was a treasure to use. I had an in-depth haggadah to look up insights, and then this one to use for the seder - it was great, I did not miss a beat with its user-friendliness. Also its large print made it a gem after the fourth cup !! The seder can be a chaotic jumbled mess, but this handy book in a convenient size (not too small and not too big), made every moment a memorable experience. Sometimes its just the telling of the story - without all the extras that does it best. Thank you artscroll.
