<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><b>From the editors of <i>Tablet</i> magazine and the creators of the popular <i>Unorthodox</i> podcast, <i>The Passover Haggadah</i> is a modern spin on the traditional Haggadah, the story of the exodus recited at the Passover Seder for thousands of years. This one is made particularly for a younger, less religious, more urbane contemporary Jewish audience.</b><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Each generation is called to perform a Passover Seder, a ritual designed to help us imagine personally experiencing the exodus from Egypt. But how can we do this together, when today our tables include people of different backgrounds, knowledge, and beliefs? Let this Passover Haggadah be your guide. <p/> Both proudly traditional and blazingly modern, it is a perfect blueprint for remembering the past, living in our present, and imagining the future. Here you'll find the entirety of the Seder text for those who don't want to miss a thing--including Hebrew, English, and a newly developed transliteration that makes the Hebrew surprisingly accessible. And, alongside, contemporary questions, illustrations, and meditations on freedom, community, destiny, and other topics that will engage the whole group in a lively and memorable discussion, especially once you've started in on those obligatory four cups of wine.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Alana Newhouse</b> is the editor in chief of <i>Tablet</i>, a daily online magazine of Jewish news, ideas, and culture launched in 2009.
