Book Reviews of A Different Night, The Family Participation Haggadah
Book Review: Not so much an at-table Haggadah, but a great planning resource
Summary: 4 Stars
I think of this book as a great seder-planning resource but not one to pass out and use at the seder. The book's size and format are awkward.
Some of the fonts and drawings (all black and white) are small and/or pale.
If used in its entirety, this would creat a long seder. The good points are that the language is gender-neutral, the readings and activity suggestions are engaging for a variety of ages and family configurations, and there is plenty of traditional Hebrew with transliteration to make it seem like a "real" seder.
I would not recommend the Leader's guide. The additional expense isn't worth the price, and there are plenty of free online resources if you feel that the Different Night Haggadah isn't helpful enough. It's pretty self-explanatory though.
Summary of A Different Night, The Family Participation Haggadah
This is the haggadah that has changed the American seder. First published in 1997, it's a full traditional seder, but with large amounts of art and commentaries, and discussion starters -- all in a user-friendly format that makes it easy to customize your seder. The Four Children section (with 20 representations going back to 1526) is already a classic. Easy-to-follow instructions make this book accessible to even a novice seder leader; and the many short commentaries will enrich anyone's Passover.General Books
