PASSOVER
SURVIVAL KIT Shimon Apisdorf
Passover...the season of matzah, maror and minding the minutes until
you can get away from your family. Not anymore! Shimon Apisdorf's
fantastic Passover Survival Kit is the perfect solution for
bringing meaning and movement to every Seder table.
Shimon Apisdorf draws his readers in with a light, conversational
style to his writing: not lecturing to his readers, but rather holding
a friendly dialogue with them.
The Passover Survival Kit is a combination of Apisdorf's
survival guide and a Haggadah. The survival guide is for pre-Passover
preparation. As all good Jewish books do, it starts with Passover
questions such as why four cups of wine, why hide the afikomen,
and why is so much time spent cleaning for Passover. The answers
to these questions lead into a chapter long discussion about the
concept of freedom and how Passover is the Jewish celebration of
freedom. The first section of the Passover Survival Kit also
contains guidelines for "how to survive the seder" whether you are
guest or host, as well as an explanation of the fifteen sections
of the seder.
The Passover Survival Kit is also equipped with an enhanced
Haggadah. Not only does Apisdorf include the complete Haggadah in
English, but also questions and answers, mini-essays and activity
suggestions. Apisdorf also clearly marks important seder points
with recognizable symbols such as stop signs and question marks.
The Haggadah is enlightening for everyone -- from the first-time
seder participant to someone who has led the seder for the last
ten years.
Shimon Apisdorf's Passover Survival Kit is an essential
addition to enhance everyone's Passover.
