Reader Reviews
This is a simple conservative Hebrew and English Hagaddah for the Passover or Pesach holiday. The author's name is not given, but the book (which reads from right to left in the Hebrew manner) has an introduction by Louis Finkelstein and was translated from the Hebrew by Maurice Samuel. The 17-page introduction discusses the importance of the Passover holiday and its religious significance. It includes many midrashim, or stories, detailing the lessons of the Jewish rabbis of old, several of which are incorporated into the Passover seder. This introduction explains how these midrashim came to be in the service. In addition to the Hebrew text on the right-hand pages, with English on the facing left, the book contains the music for the most important blessings and songs of the holiday. There are also lovely engravings. The main section of the book, some 81 pages, is of course devoted to the Passover service itself--the meal and all its rituals, from the blessing over the wine, washing of hands and dipping of greens to the final favorite Passover songs. The book is dated, but for those looking for a straightforward explanation and service for the Passover holiday, one could do much worse.
