Haggadah for Jews & Buddhists: A Passover Ritual (0977322122)

Editorial Review:

A discussion provoking retelling of the traditional Passover ritual, linking its meaning with age-old Buddhist concepts. A traditional haggadah in format, this has been written for a mixed family.

Haggadah for Jews & Buddhists illuminates the concepts embedded in the Biblical story of the sacred exodus from slavery to freedom. This journey applies to everyone as they face life's challenges and grow stronger through meeting them. This telling has meaning for all thoughtful adults: Buddhists, Traditional and Secular Jews and people of all beliefs and spiritualities.

Jews and Buddhists: Passover:

Helps a non Jew make sense of the spiritual meaning of a holiday that feels exclusive due to its historical reference. Well done, Glad to have the book.
