Haggadot
So, Pesach is coming and last time, I asked for some suggestions as to how to make the seder more exciting. This time, I am curious as to what haggadah everyone is using, and, ofcourse why that one in particular. I finally got my "The Historical Haggada" today by mail. So far, its a bit on the eeehh, side. Not really what I expected.

Whichever one at my parents' house has nice, clear, clean type and not too few words per page, and that doesn't get snatched up by my father. :)
ReplyDeleteMy recommendation is here Everyone likes it because of the artwork inside.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow, I plan to post a piece with Chabakuk Elisha about suggestions for the seder.
Ezzie,
ReplyDeleteYou're going to find this amusing.
I actually just purchased a "Sephardic Heritage" Hagadah with commentary from The RAMBAM, Baba Sali and other great Sephardi chachamim.
I have been perusing the hagadah so I have what to say at the Ashkenazik/Chasidic seder I will be attending.
I will probably look over the Torat Chaim haggadah beforehand so I don't get distracted and overwhelmed by the different perushim, and so I actually have something coherent to say at the seder. But it's true that it's better to look at it beforehand or during chol hamoed, no one can read everything fast enough to go through it all at the seder itself.
ReplyDeleteAlso, for the sake of uniformity, I'll probably also have a copy of either the Maxwell House haggadah or the Artscroll Family Haggadah open side-by-side with whatever else I'm looking at so when it's my turn to read out loud I'll be with everyone else.
Scraps:
ReplyDeleteno! uniformity of haggadas is BAD! mixing and comparing translations is the best part of the seder! ;-)
I also enjoy mixing hagaddahs, just not wine.
