Make your model or family seders a home run with The Baseball Haggadah, connecting two rites of spring, baseball and the story of Passover.

 

By holding up the Exodus story next to the concept of a beloved national pastime, Rabbi Forman casts light on the Passover story in new and unexpected patterns with faithfulness to the contours of a traditional seder. Values taught at the seder, such as love of freedom, kindness to strangers and concern for others are celebrated in this user-friendly text with particular sensitivity to gender equality and transliteration for non-Hebrew readers.
