Anyone looking for a haggadah to guide them through a Passover seder knows the importance of the selection since it sets the tone for the evening. A Family Haggadah II is a particularly user-friendly choice because it has something to offer seder guests of all ages, as well as those participants with varying levels of knowledge about the holiday traditions.
The book includes prayers in Hebrew and in English, along with some transliterations for those who cannot read the Hebrew text but want to sing and chant along with the prayers. It also includes a significant amount of commentary, which provides enough information to make the prayers meaningful but does not go into an excessive amount of detail that might cause the younger participants to lose interest. Also, the colorful illustrations enhance the haggadah’s presentation.
Most people who host a Passover seder make a significant financial investment in haggadahs because they purchase multiple copies for their guests and use them at the annual celebration. A Family Haggadah II is not only informative but has a sleek and modern presentation that definitely has the potential to be a valuable element of a family seder year after year.
