“If this book only gave us detailed,
step-by-step loving guidance on how to carry out every stage of
the Seder—Dayyenu! If this book only gave us a guide to all the
concepts in the Seder and how to connect this meal to the core
religion and ethics of Judaism—Dayyenu! If this book only
gave us some of the most creative and fun ways of celebrating
the Seder and involving guests and family—Dayyenu! But in
fact, Passover does all this and much, much more. Highly
recommended!”

and Leadership
“Fitted to the needs and wants of
Jews who come from the periphery and seek to enter the center
of Jewish life, this book combines the author’s
intelligence as a Jewish educator and his experience as a
father. Sprinkled with anecdote, aphorisms, and good humor, it
patiently guides the reader to significant practice: what to
do, why it is done, and how to answer.”

Harold M. Schulweis, Valley
