The perfect book for every Passover seder, from editor Jonathan Safran
Foer and translator Nathan Englander: this bestselling modern prayer
book brilliantly interprets one of our oldest and most sacred
stories.
Read each year around the seder table, the Haggadah recounts through
prayer, song, and ritual the extraordinary story of Exodus, when Moses
led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt to wander the desert for
forty years before reaching the Promised Land.
Now, Jonathan Safran Foer has orchestrated a new way of experiencing and
understanding one of our oldest, most timeless, and sacred stories, with
a new translation of the traditional text by Nathan Englander and
provocative commentary by major Jewish writers and thinkers Jeffrey
Goldberg, Lemony Snicket, Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, and Nathaniel
Deutsch. Ravishingly designed and illustrated by the acclaimed Israeli
artist and calligrapher Oded Ezer, New American Haggadah is an utterly
unique and absorbing prayer book, the first of its kind, that brings
together some of the preeminent voices of our time.
"The best book of modern religious thought in recent memory." --The

"What makes this haggadah shine is the combination of commentary,
design, and illustration." --Financial Times
