Liberated Haggadah: A Passover Celebration for Cultural, Secular and Humanistic Jews, The

By Schweitzer, Rabbi Peter H.
Center for Cultural Judaism, 2003, Pamphlet, $13.00

This Haggadah poses one major question that most other haggadot do not ask.

If in the face of modern scholarship we no longer accept the Exodus narrative as historical, but as legend, why do we continue to tell the story? And if we do re-enact the story, how do we maintain our intellectual honesty?

Second, this Haggadah re-embraces the ancient celebration of spring which our ancestors observed long before they superimposed the Exodus event on that earlier holiday.

Third, this Haggadah is realistic – about how people observe their Seders at home.

Finally, this Haggadah restores the familiarity and fun of our childhood.
