Review

"A superb guide to the journey of the Passover Seder. Taking the reader step-by-step through the experience, Rabbi Laufer offers both novice and experienced Seder participants a road map filled with delicious details, exemplary explanations and intellectual insights to enhance their Seder celebration. A highly recommended, terrific resource!"
―Dr. Ron Wolfson, author, Passover: The Family Guide to Spiritual Celebration; vice president, University of Judaism, Los Angeles

"A profoundly insightful, lovingly crafted and eminently useful guide to the Passover Seder that unlocks the Haggadah's deepest layers of meaning. Indispensable for all Seder leaders. Guaranteed to enrich any Passover Seder."
―David Arnow, PhD, author, Creating Lively Passover Seders: A Sourcebook of Engaging Tales, Texts & Activities

“More than an invaluable resource for everyone who leads a Seder, this book uses the Passover Haggadah as a prism through which to examine the story of the Jewish People. It makes us think about the past even as it challenges us to reflect upon our own Jewish lives today.”
―Deborah E. Lipstadt, PhD, director, Rabbi Donald Tam Institute for Jewish Studies, Emory University

5.0 out of 5 stars Amaze your family and friends when you share the insights you learn from this book!

As a Jewish Day School teacher of 18 years, I have yet to find a book more useful than this one in teaching the hidden meaning of the Haggadah. I never have to recommend this book to teachers or seder leaders I encounter; I simply share an insight or two revealed in its text and people beg me to share where I learned such brilliant interpretations.

The Haggadah is intended to be a "telling" of the tale recounted in Shmot (Exodus), yet Moses is all but missing from the text of the Haggadah. How can you retell the story of the Exodus without mentioning Moses? Well it turns out Moses is cleverly hidden throughout the steps of the seder. It turns out the ENTIRE tale of the Exodus as told in Shmot is encoded in the steps of the seder.

If the seemingly disparate parts of the Haggadah never appeared to have a coherent narrative seder (order) in your mind before, read this book and all will become clear!

I found the author's story very insightful and compelling. It was presented as the only interpretation, though. I think it would have promoted a richer experience if different interpretations had been presented alongside each other.

Some very interesting ideas. The relationship between Joseph's economic policies and the later enslavement of the Israelites was great food for thought.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best in years
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2005
Put an end to boring Seders. This is a great Haggadah, the best in years, perfect for anyone who wants to have intelligent comments to make at their Seder. Even for those who are familiar with the text of the Haggadah, there are many, many original thoughts that seem so obvious that you wonder why you didn't think of them yourself. The layout of the book makes it easy for those who use a non-traditional text at their Seder to find the texts relevant to their Seder and to use them.
