Description - Creating a Living Passover Seder by David Arnow
Many people want to create an inspiring and lively seder but don't have time to sift through the scores of haggadot and other sources for the engaging material necessary for a truly exciting seder year after year. Creating A Living Passover Seder is an innovative, interactive guide that can help encourage fresh perspectives and lively dialogue. This wide-ranging haggadah companion offers thematic discussion topics, text study ideas, activities, and readings that come alive in the traditional group setting of the Passover seder.
Each activity and discussion idea aims to deepen our understanding of the haggadah itself, provides new opportunities for engaging the themes of the Passover festival and helps us develop familiarity with the Exodus story, as well as the life and times of some of the people who shaped the development of the haggadah From suggestions for re-enacting the march from Egypt to Israel, to bibliodrama defending and opposing God's use of the plagues against the Egyptians, to a discussion comparing the Great Seal of the United States - which features a pyramid - with the image for the Seal proposed by Thomas Jefferson and others depicting the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, Creating A Living Passover Seder inspires seder participants of all ages to encounter central concepts of Judaism in thought provoking, stimulating ways. In doing so, the seder opens up the possibilities for more meaningful encounters with Jewish values, traditions, and texts that lead well beyond the seder itself.
