Synopsis:

This is the Passover book you never knew you needed — but you’ll wonder how you ever did without it! It’s origins: the authors are two slightly eccentric guys from New Jersey, who each had the custom [independently] of having two or three people ask the Four Questions in different languages. Then they met each other, and things got out of hand. The end result is a huge book, an “exuberant compilation” in the words of Jewish Book World. “The book comes with a CD and a DVD that have translation highlights, games, quizzes, chants — and more. Irresistable to any language lover and a trove of seder novelties.” We agree. And we’d add that it’s a great seder gift.

About the Author: Dr. Murray Spiegel, with a background in speech research for telecommunications, has established a reputation for innovative Passover Seders. Since leading his first Seder while in graduate school, Murray has led over 30 Seders - no two alike. With his wife Randi, Murray has transformed their house into settings that enrich the Passover story: a Bedouin tent; a jumbo jet taking the Israelites out of Egypt; and an ancient Egyptian tomb. His car even carries the NJ license plate "Pesach." Rickey Stein is a pharmacist with life-long interests in languages and Passover. He is particularly knowledgeable on the various writing systems used by the world's languages. 35 years ago he started translating the Four Questions and hasn't stopped yet.Both Rickey and Murray's Seders have been written up in The New York Times.
