New Passover Haggadah-- Az Nashir

 

I couldn't resist this new Az Nashir Haggadah for many reasons. One important reason is that many of my friends were involved in writing and editing it, including my favorite teachers in Matan.

Just a warning, it's a big beautiful volume that may not fit easily on the table, but it's worth making the effort. I'd suggest trying to read some of the articles before the Seder. How about on Shabbat Hagadol? Lots of people make a point of preparing/studying for Passover, and using your Az Nashir Haggadah would be a very good idea. 

I, davka, ended up reading the poems and articles the day after the Seder... They're written in all sorts of styles, covering a wide variety of topics. That makes it so much more interesting than other Haggadot. And, no, I didn't manage to read them all.

If a few friends have the Haggadah, I'd recommend using it as the text for a group pre-Pesach study group. Each session study a different article or two. For example:

Rachel Sharansky Danziger, Rabbanit Yael Leibowitz, Dr. Tanya White, Ruti Eastman, Chaya Bina-Katz, Toby Klein Greenwald, Shulie Mishkin, Rabbanit Shani Taragin, Dr. Yael Ziegler and more...

From what I understand, the first printing was sold out, so now's the time to order your copy for next year. And don't forget the other Az Nashir books. Click here for ordering information.
