Synopsis

A Children's Haggadah? YES! A Family Haggadah? YES! A Concise Haggadah? YES! Richard Codor's Joyous Haggadah is something new, chock full of cartoon drawings on its covers and on every page. There is a Moses cartoon strip, a map that shows how the Israelites got into Egypt and a double page Exodus spread that shows how they got out. The Four Children are instant classics as are the Frogs, Locusts, Vermin and all the other Plagues and there’s also the best Chad Gadya ever. And if that’s not enough, there are so many little drawings hidden in the borders, that we can’t count them all.

From the Inside Flap:

Why is this Haggadah different from all other Haggadahs? Because it’s a clear, concise retelling of the celebration and story of Passover. Most important, it’s drawn funny. It combines the traditions and essential customs of the Passover ceremony with “chicken soup” humor. The more you throw into the soup, the tastier it is. So, snuggle down in your chair, kick off your shoes and chuckle through the fourth cup of wine and beyond. Enjoy! "What a delightful romp through the Seder via this Joyous Haggadah! The multi-layered narrative and rituals in this haggadah appeal to the eye, the imagination, the funny-bone, and the occasion. Beginning with the prequel of the Joseph story, continuing until the Israelites gain their freedom, and ending with more symbolic rituals and song, the combination of telling the story and conducting the Seder is presented clearly with charming and wacky humor (in both words and visuals). The cartoon-like illustrations not only enhance the story but will also add to a memorable and joy-filled shared family experience!” — Peninah Schram
