Family Haggadah

The "Family Haggadah" appears to be illustrated and annotated for parents who want to keep their 7 - 12 year olds engaged during the seder. For that purpose, the Family Haggadah seems to be an excellent choice. Beautifully illustrated with lots of fun "side" facts. If you have teenagers or are a group of all adults, the Family Haggadah will likely come off as too childish. The content is good for various degrees of religious seders. If you are looking for a more cultural/humanistic/secular approach to celebrating Passover, this Haggadah will leave you wanting more. I take my hat (but not my kippa) off to the author for creating a kid friendly haggadah that parents could tolerate.

I've used this Haggadah for several years. Last year our group expanded, and this year even more - couldn't be more happy about it. Purchased additional so everyone will have this family friendly Haggadah - so well written and Illustrated. Not at all what I grew up with, hours of story and starvation (ok, not starvation but hours of words words words... I'm so sick of words...). Thank you Elie Gindi - I've recommended this to many!

The Haggadah is written in very simple language suitable for children and others with limited English skills. I am happy with the language and the retelling of the Passover story, but suggest including more songs for singing at the seder table. I particularly love the Passover themed art from the last 1500 years. The art is a main reason I bought the Haggadah.

I started using this Haggadah when my grandchildren were very young. They are now teenagers. Each year they find something new in this book to talk about. We had extra people at this years seder and I was so happy to find this great little Haggadah still in print. It truly is a Haggadah for all ages. This year our youngest was 11 and oldest in his 80's.

After examining many Haggadahs we chose this one for our Seders. It seemed to have the right mix of traditionalism, and modern practice, with enough material to hold the interest of my small grandchildren.

Both kids, 3 and 6, were engaged for most of it. They left with two pages to go, but overall this haggadah led to an enjoyable family seder. All the key parts are in there and it goes quickly, easily under an hour if you want. All guests enjoyed it as well.

A misleading title - this is not a book for the whole family or in the author's words "All Generations".Right on the book cover are the words "Children's judaica". This is not a haggadah for use by adults at a seder. First of all, it is about 9 x 12, too large to be used by all at a family Seder table. The illustrations are a mishmash of cartoons, juvenile images and scattered photographs of historical artifacts.It is not a book I would ever use at our family seders. Perhaps it could be used to teach middle school children about seders.

Binding is intact. There are no markings. True to description. Would buy from seller again.

I would of liked to see some more songs in the book.
