Editorial Review:
A full traditional haggadah with a contemporary and Israeli accent. Commentaries from scholars and rabbis, mostly late 20th century, but also from novelists, poets, political leaders, and others.

Many items for younger and older children are sprinkled throughout the book.

Rating: - Comprehensive and Contemporary
It's great to find a haggadah with a contemporary twist that doesn't sacrifice the "traditional" content. The authors incorporate readings from a variety of relavent sources in a creative manner.

They really enjoyed the colorful animated images, too, which we found to be scarce in our haggadah shopping!

Rating: - A wise- and whimsical - haggadah
For anyone seeking a modern voice speaking towards the classical text, this haggadah is a gem. "A Night to Remember" was based on the all-Hebrew "Ha'lailah Ha'zeh," the authors' efforts to provide a work for contemporary Israelis. The best elements of that volume have been transferred into "A Night To Remember," including the creative illustrations from Michael Kichka, whose pictures provide both a sense of whimsy and substance. Illustrations vary from the humorous (the ox in "Chad Gad Ya" is a man in ... Read More
