Passover, a highlight of Jewish ritual observance, celebrates the release of the Jews from bondage in Egypt and their passage to freedom. The haggadah combines story, song, and commentary to retell this passage and serves as the guide for the observance. Olitzky, a rabbi in the Reform stream of American Judaism and a prolific author of religious texts here offers an excellent accompaniment to the haggadah. He seeks to educate those who are interested in Judaism but have little or no background. This volume takes the reader by the hand, explains the text, and plumbs it for spiritual and religious meaning in hopes of preparing the heart for this important festival. This well-written book enhances observance by explaining and giving added depth to traditional material. Suitable for general collections on spirituality, this book is also appropriate for general public libraries with a significant number of Jewish patrons seeking spiritual material.
