Passover for Kids | PJ Library
How about also checking out a book from our library at Etz Chaim to get some great new ideas for your Passover seders? Here are a few of the library’s books that will help:
The Family Participation Haggadah: A Different Night by Noam Zion and David Dishon.
This is the haggadah that has changed the American seder. It’s a full traditional seder, but with large amounts of art and commentaries, and discussion starters. This illustrated haggadah is full of ideas for involving parent and child, leader and participant. (262.5 ZIO)
The Family and Frog Haggadah by Rabbi Ron Isaacs and Karen Rostoker-Gruber.
In this kid-oriented haggadah you will find lists to help Jewish families prepare for the seder as well as activities, games, and songs to enjoy during the seder. ( J 262.5 ISA)
New American Haggadah edited by Jonathan Safran Foer.
Foer has created a new way of experiencing the seder with a new translation of the text by Nathan Englander and provocative commentary by major Jewish writers and thinkers. It is unique and absorbing. (262.5 FOE)
For Children ~ A sampling of the great Passover children’s books available for checkout
Miriam at the River by Jane Yolen.
Here’s a beautifully illustrated book of the Bible story of Moses when he is left at the river and found by Pharoah’s daughter. ( J 220.95 MOS YOL) For Grades K-3.
Matzah Man to the Rescue! by Eric Kimmel.
A fun graphic novel that finds our superhero flying around the world to bring people what they need to celebrate Passover. ( J 243.2 KIM) For Grades K-3.
YOU CAN FIND MORE HAGGADOT ON THE LIBRARY SHELVES AT 262.5 and for children at J 262.5, as well as Passover books at 243.2 and for children at J 243.2.
