Summary: Finally, a need being served!
Comment: Nan Meyer is to be congratulated! She has written a Haggadah with which Jewish families can welcome their non-Jewish friends and relatives to the Seder table. But in the process she has produced a Seder book that many Jews who have lost touch with but wish to return to their culture will find inviting to use. The Inter-Faith Family Seder Book is not only entirely user-friendly, it also provides practical suggestions for preparation and conduction of the Seder, and it gives the Seder service in a step-by-step, easy to follow sequence. In an era where Jews are becoming increasingly assimilated into the population, through both intermarriage and simple acculturation, it's easy to lose touch with their heritage. Getting back in touch with it can be difficult. However, this Haggadah can ease the retunr. It is very comfortable to use. It is in no way intimidating, the Hebrew that is used appropriately is also used sparingly, but in ways that are familiar. It is as appropriate to the ex-patriot Jews who wish to return as it is to non-Jews. Nan Meyer has made an important social contribution with her Haggadah. I would love to see more publications of this nature.

Summary: The Title Says It All
Comment: THE INTER-FAITH FAMILY SEDER BOOK: How to Celebrate a Jewish Passover Supper with Christian In-Laws and Non-Jewish Friends by Nan Meyer (1998),says it all. This is a delightful, easy-to-use haggadah that while making the prayers, songs and ritual accessible and comprehensible to the non-Jew, does not fall into the trap of "Christianizing" the seder. It has such practicial pointers as suggesting white rather than purple grape juice for the children because purple stains, "and there may not be much time to get their holiday finery cleaned for Easter Sunday." Then there are sensitive interpretations, such as that for the ten plagues visited on the Egyptians: "When people do evil and bring suffering upon themselves ... (but) we cannot rejoice over their pain." Traditional songs like "Chad Gadya" are paired with universalist English (only the blessings are in Hebrew in this user-friendly ritual) paraphrase of "Eliyahu ha-Navi" set to the tune of "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing." This reviewer suggests you take advantage of this book for your family seders.

Summary: Great!
Comment: Must write to thank the author for this wonderful book. I never thought I would be able to be at a seder again after I married out of my faith. Imagine my astonishment when my Christian wife surprised me with a seder in my own home. My children could see what a happy party a seder is. The author has explained the do's and don'ts of a seder so that anyone can produce one. My children could have the fun of asking questions that have been asked for thousands of years. I could have the pride of answering them. Can't wait till my next Jewish friend marries a Christian so I can give them a set of these books as a wedding gift.
