If you've ever suffered through a Passover Seder, you're well aware of
the fact that the entire evening can feel like we're still in bondage.
There are endless stories, frequent hand washing, and not enough eating.
The book you hold before you is no ordinary Haggadah. For This We Left
Egypt? is a hilarious and entertaining parody from the comedic minds of
Dave Barry, Alan Zweibel, and Adam Mansbach. These award-winning comedy
writers take you through every step of the Seder, from getting rid of
all the chametz in your house by setting it on fire with a standard
blowtorch (preferably outdoors), to breaking the middle matzah--that is,
if you can find a piece that isn't already broken, to a hilariously
absurd retelling of the Passover story featuring Pharaoh Schmuck, a
burning bush that sounds kind of like Morgan Freeman, and the Promised
Land which turned out not to be a land of milk and honey but rather one
of rocks and venomous scorpions the size of Yorkshire terriers. Also
included are useless commentary and thought-provoking discussion
questions throughout such as: Is Manischewitz considered a plague?
Publishing just in time for Passover, this book will be the perfect gift
book from G-d that you'll want to share and laugh over with friends and
family.
