Book Reviews of Keeping Passover: Everything You Need to Know to Bring the Ancient Tradition to Life and Create Yo

Book Review: Excellent Introduction/Review
Summary: 5 Stars

This paperback was interesting and fact-filled, even for someone with previous knowledge of Passover and the Seder. It's approach is traditional, although i am not sure the ultra-Orthododox would regard it as such. My one complaint was the size of the print in the paperback edition--too small.

Summary of Keeping Passover: Everything You Need to Know to Bring the Ancient Tradition to Life and Create Yo

"Although the idea of 'keeping Passover' has too often come to mean the strict observance of an unending string of ordinances, decrees, rules, regulations, testimonies, precepts, laws, and statutes, it can as well mean the safekeeping of something precious and worth preserving. Tradition should be like the ballast that keeps a ship steady in an ocean of constant stormy change."

From one of the nation's leading Haggadah experts comes the ultimate guide to creating a faithful and personal seder celebration. Emphasizing "thou may" instead of "thou shalt," Steingroot presents all the traditional and alternative options. Keeping Passover explores:

  • the meaning of the Passover symbols
  • how to choose the right Haggadah
  • food, cookbooks, and table arrangements
  • music, recordings, and learning to sing the songs
  • ways to involve children
  • the art of keeping Passover fresh every year
Keeping Passover is a much needed and highly accessible resource offering a rich assortment of methods -- from simple to elaborate, traditional to innovative -- to enhance, preserve, and celebrate the seder.
