Why on This Night?: A Passover Haggadah for Family Celebration

“Why on This Night? A Passover Haggadah for Family Celebration” by Rahel Musleah, illustrated by Louise August, is the recipient of a Sydney Taylor Notable Book Award through the Association of Jewish Libraries. This beautifully illustrated Haggadah, used for the Jewish Passover seder, is perfect for young people and their families. It offers Hebrew text, English translations, and even transliterations for those who like to follow along with the Hebrew but might not know it well enough to read it on its own.

The seder will be more exciting through the use of this Haggadah, as it incorporates poems, stories, extended descriptions, music, activities, and even play in four parts telling the story of the Exodus. This Haggadah will bring joy to any Passover celebration as it provides clarity in ways that other more “adult” Haggadahs do not. There are even recipes to try out and chronological pages leading readers through each step of the seder.

Allow this Haggadah to enhance the Passover seder and create a new tradition with family through this thoroughly relevant and creative version of the Haggadah that will keep all participants interested.
