From Publishers Weekly
Ron Wolfson offers a second edition of Passover: The Family Guide to Spiritual Celebration, first published in 1988. Now part of Jewish Lights's The Art of Jewish Living series, it is co-written with Joel Lurie Grishaver (the same team that brought us the series' practical and loving tribute to Hanukkah last year). The book opens with Wolfson's tender (and mouth-wateringly food-oriented) tribute to the seders of his Nebraska childhood and then unfolds with section after section of practical tips for creating memorable-and more spiritually focused-Passover celebrations.

Reader Reviews
Now in an expanded second edition, Passover is a comprehensive guide by Ron Wolfson (William and Freda Fingherhut Assistant Professor of Education, Director of the Whizin Center for the Jewish Future, and Vice President of the University of Judaism in Los Angeles), to the history and celebration of this Jewish holiday and time for remembrance. From how to prepare traditional Passover food to step-by-step instructions to learning the rituals, prayers, and blessings, to songs and prayers in English and Hebrew with clear transliterations, and much, much more, Passover is both a highly accessible instructional guide and a meditative contemplation regarding the personal meaning Passover has for the many who celebrate it. Passover is a very highly recommended contribution to personal, familial, and community library Judaic Studies reference collections.
