Why On This Night? Review

This is an outstanding haggadah. I will use many of the ideas at my seder this year. Adults and children can learn a great deal about Passover by reading the detailed, yet very clear and simple explanations about the traditions, seder items, etc. The author also includes many interesting perspectives on the different parts of the seder.

Delightful

The Passover Haggadah, Why on This Night, written by Rahel Musleah and illustrated by Louise August is truly delightful. After searching for an appropriate Haggadah for my family over the past few years, I finally feel the search is over. The Haggadah is beautifully written and illustrated and the text is engaging for all ages. Throughout the Haggadah the Hebrew transliteration is available as are the melodies of the songs. We can't wait to use the Haggadah this year and for many, many years to come.

Highly recommended for kids and the family bookshelf.

Rahel Musleah's Why On This Night? will reach a wide range of ages, with parents reading aloud to the younger set, as it celebrates the rich traditions of Passover through stories, poems, and activities. There's a lot of text here but the entire family can participate in the book's revelations.
