Book Reviews of Passover Haggadah for All Generations
Book Review: From the United Synagogue Review Spring 2002
Summary: 5 Stars
We have a new contribution to Passover this year from Morris Eson, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the State University of New York at Albany and long-time member of Temple Israel in Albany. Together with Devora Heckelman, a member of the United Synagogue Commission on Education and con to several Solomon Schecter Day Schools, and Fay Silton, Education Director at Temple Israel, Morris Eson has produced a valuable pedagogical tool designed not only to enliven th Passover seder but to serve as a supplementary text for middle school and secondary school students in their study of the Book of Exodus.The Haggadah contains all the basic elements of the traditional Passover service plus valuable commentary and historical information based on the writings of Judaic scholars and Eson's own reflections. According to the author, many of the segments are designed to be read aloud by participants, serving to maintain a high level of interest. He notes also that the commentary draws from a wide variety of sources - historical, scientific, literary, as well as from his own imagination.
Besides offering helpful explanations of the origins of Passover rituals, the new Haggadah provides many opportunities for children and youth to participate. Notes throughout the text are drawn from both ancient and modern sources, serving as a bridge between the different generations at the Seder table as well as a bride from the present to the past. The author also includes suggestions of discussion topics to enhance conversions during the meal (e.g. "Our people's Fascination, with Language.). Mixing the traditional with the innovative, this Haggadah will appeal to those looking for a Passover study experience.
Summary of Passover Haggadah for All Generations
This Haggadah is filled with valuable commentary to be read at the Seder along with the traditional text, thus fulfilling the recommendation in the Haggadah: And the more one expands on the story of the departure from Egypt the more one is considered praiseworthy. One reviewer states: The commentary will prove an invaluable resource to anyone leading a Seder and will be fascinating reading to anyone participating. Another reviewer states: The Seder is a teaching moment in the Jewish year and this commentary on the Haggadah takes the teaching a long way toward its fulfillment.Reference Books
