Synopsis: On Passover a Jew is obligated to see himself as if he came out of Egypt.
Yes, but how?
The Passover Haggadah, the text that is meant to guide one through the Seder night, is almost as old as the holiday itself. It tells a story of ages ago, removed by millennia from our modern lives. And how can Jews relate to an ancient persecution when we are not seventy years removed from the cataclysm of the Shoah?
Escape Velocity works under a very simple assumption: The Haggadah is the one source Jews use, on the one night they have, to express, and be impressed, by their faith. Escape Velocity sees to it that the Haggadah lives up to that promise. It strives to find relevance in a story few Jews can relate to. It recognizes the intent of the text and places enormous demands on it to not only be a good read, but for it to be a good feel for it to be felt: deeply.
Escape Velocity is a how-to of sorts. It sets an example of how to bring one's self to the Seder table and intertwine the richness inherent in each of us with the poetry and song found throughout the Haggadah. It reveals an ancient tale which is told by the wise and the pious, but one that is meant to be read and listened to by the Jew of today. It is a celebration of synthesis between the wisdom of the ancients and modern man s unique vantage point - a post-Apocalyptic vantage point. When the Haggadah is read through the eyes of such a generation, it takes on an existential tone and moves from a commemoration of an event in the past, to a celebration of our lives in the now .
Escape Velocity s commentary, its design, as well as its illustrations all work to uncover a dynamic, riveting opportunity to connect with ones faith and impart that faith to others. It reveals a Haggadah of existential proportions, perfectly suited for a people of extra-ordinary circumstances. In the end, Escape Velocity teaches us that we have more in common with our ancient ancestors than we think. Our emerging from the dark shadow of the Shoah makes the exodus of our people from Egypt a blueprint of sorts for our modern lives.
The Jewish people has rarely known a time where their hopes and dreams were not ripped from their tightly clenched fists and tossed out a window like a handful of magic beans. Indeed, history has been less than kind to the chosen ones. As the Passover Haggadah declares: In all ages they rise up against us to destroy us ... . Expulsion. Crusade. Pogrom. Pick your persecution; the Jew has known it.
Yet somehow one gets the feeling that recent times have taken knowing to new levels. Never before have so many been so close to so much unabashed, raw evil. Never before have so few survived, been pushed so far and left with so little. The Holocaust: more than crusade, more than pogrom, even more than genocide was no less than deicide. And although faith was never wholly rational, it was now reduced to the ridiculous, and the faithful left wide open to ridicule.
These are the times in which we find ourselves. And suddenly, the very fact becomes an imperative. In these times, we must find ourselves! The Seder night then becomes the battleground where man s stare must penetrate his own heart, and without missing a beat his heart must courageously return the gaze.

Haggadah Torah Avos. The Haggadah compiled and used by the Nesivos Sholom zt"l contains commentaries by the rabbeim of the chassidic dynasties of Lechovitz, Kobrin, and Slonim. Nesivos Sholom, the title of the sefarim of Reb Sholom Noach Berezovsky zt"l, saintly rebbe of a vibrant chassidic dynasty, had and continues to have an impact well beyond the tightly knit enclave of Slonimer adherents. Since its publication in the latter half of the twentieth century, Nesivos Sholom has become a standard text in the study halls and homes of Torah Jews from one end of the spectrum to the other. The Nesivos Sholom contends that the hallowed Seder conducted on the night of Pesach serves as a Rosh Hashanah of sorts; he refers to it as the Rosh Hashanah L'emunah. The Yom Tov of Pesach is greatly intertwined with the notion of emunah, and the facets of the avodah of Pesach are intended to inculcate such emunah within us. For the accomplished scholar or the earnest layman; the educator or the parent; and anyone, young or old, seeking to advance their Torah knowledge and connection with the Creator — this volume has a wealth to offer. In addition to the Hebrew Haggadah and its translation, there are several tidbits and essays before and after the actual Haggadah. With Hashem's help, this Haggadah will greatly enhance your Seder and your life. As expounded by Rabbi S. Binyomin Ginsber
This Passover Haggadah compiles the Ravs commentary from those shiurim into an accessible resource for pre-Pesach studies and an insightful accompaniment to the Pesach Seder. Not only does the Rav illuminate the halachic basis of many of the mitzvot of the Seder, but he also expounds on the traditional text with universal and relevant interpretations. Includes the full Passover Haggadah
Why is this Haggadah different from all other Haggadahs?
- This Haggadah doesn't just tell us what to do – it also tells us why. Why, for example, do we need to know that five rabbis once spent all night chatting at B'nei Brak? And why on earth do we have to weigh our parsley?
- Other Haggadahs constantly go off on various tangents and they never signpost when they're doing this and why. This Haggadah keeps you in the loop from start to finish.
- Other Haggadahs are either aimed at adults or purely at children. This Haggadah will suit everyone (which means you'll all be on the same page – literally – throughout the service).
- Let's admit it: other Haggadahs manage to turn an exceptionally exciting story into a rather dreary and uninspiring one. This Haggadah livens things up a bit.
The KOL MENACHEM HAGGADAH adds layer upon layer of fresh insight to the age-old celebration of our journey from slavery to freedom.

This remarkably handsome volume is adorned with ornate Hebrew typography, gold and maroon highlights, and a luxurious, hand-tooled leather-style binding. Substantial sponsorship has enabled this elegant Haggadah to be made available for an extremely reasonable price. The commentaries have been culled from a vast array of sources, spanning from the Twentieth Century back to antiquity. Special emphasis has been give to the teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, many of which appear in English here for the first time.

Joseph Tabory, one of the world's leading authorities on the history of the haggadah, traces the development of the seder and the haggadah through the ages. The book features an extended introduction by Tabory, the classic Hebrew haggadah text side by side with its English translation, and Tabory's clear and insightful critical-historical commentary.

Night of Beginnings is a groundbreaking new haggadah for the Passover seder from acclaimed poet, translator, and liturgist Marcia Falk, beautifully designed and illustrated with original watercolor drawings by the author. Unlike both traditional and new haggadahs, which do not contain a full recounting of the biblical story, Night of Beginnings presents the Exodus narrative in its entirety, providing a direct connection to the ancient origins of the holiday. This retelling highlights the actions of its female characters, including Miriam; Pharaoh's daughter, who adopts the baby Moshe; and the midwives Shifrah and Pu'ah, who save the Hebrew male infants. Falk's revolutionary new blessings, in Hebrew and English, replace the traditional, patriarchal seder blessings, and her kavanot--meditative directions for prayer--introduce a genre new to the seder ritual. Poems, psalms, and songs are arranged to give structural coherence to the haggadah. A new commentary raises interpretive questions and invites us to bring personal reflections into the discussion. Like the author's widely acclaimed previous prayer books, The Book of Blessings and The Days Between, Falk's poetic blessings for the seder envision the divine as a Greater Whole of which we are an inseparable part. The inclusive language of Falk's blessings makes room for women to find and use their voices more full-throatedly than they were able to do with the male-centered prayers inherited from the early rabbis. Men, too, will encounter here a spiritually moving and thought-provoking experience.
