Excellent Resource for Anyone Leading or Attending a Seder

I found this book so fascinating that I couldn't put it down! I will incorporate the book's teachings into my family's Seders this year. Rabbi Laufer takes the reader step-by-step through the Seder and offers many interesting insights along the way. A must read!

One of the best in years

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.

A masterful addition to the Hagaddot we own

Rabbi Laufer shows his talent as a master-teacher. He explores the traditional Hagaddah giving it a fresh meaning and relevance to our lives, while linking it even more closely to the biblical text in a unique and coherent manner. This book will surely become a classic work.
