The Santa Cruz Haggadah is a user-friendly Passover Haggadah based on the concept that we should not only look back in history to when we were slaves and then freed, but that we should also connect in with other groups who are needing freedom or protection now - eg the homeless, the redwoods, those discriminated against because of their age, sex, sexual preferences, etc. - and with the ways in which we enslave ourselves now through the risks we don"t take, the words and actions we keep repeating, the questions we don"t ask, etc.The Leader"s versions (the complete versions) provide the leader with help in tailoring a seder to the expected participants; a ten-minute or ten-hour seder can be designed. The Participant"s version provides attendees with all that they need to participate in the seder. The Kids" Passover Fun Book serves as: (1) a haggadah for little kids; (2) an Afikomen present for middle-aged kids (6 - 11); (3) a distraction tool for unruly kids at a s! eder; or (4) a violence-free and God-neutral teaching tool for parents and/or teachers. The Deluxe edition of the Santa Cruz Haggadah makes a wonderful present; the contents are the same as the regular leaders but the paper on which it is printed is a very beautiful heavy-weight purple and the cover is gold-foiled.
