Indispensable for all Seder leaders. Guaranteed to enrich any Passover Seder. David Arnow, PhD, author, Creating Lively Passover Seders: A Sourcebook of Engaging Tales, d104s & Activities More than an invaluable resource for everyone who leads a Seder, this book uses the Passover Haggadah as a prism through which to examine the story of the Jewish People.
