The (unofficial) Hogwarts Haggadah

By Moshe Rosenberg

 

What could a School of Witchcraft and Wizardry possibly have in common with the most published book in Jewish history and the most celebrated holiday of the Jewish calendar? As it turns out, quite a lot. From the concepts of slavery and freedom, to the focus on education, to the number four, Harry Potter and Passover share almost everything. This book is the perfect companion for young and old at the seder table. Enchant your guests with lessons from the magical realms of Hogwarts and Jewish tradition. And learn the ultimate lesson: holiness can be found everywhere, if you know where to look.

 

"The (unofficial) Hogwarts Haggadah" contains traditional haggadah text in both Hebrew and English alongside commentaries through the lens of the Harry Potter book series. Written and organized by a fifth grade Judaica teacher and Queens, NY rabbi, the Hogwarts haggadah also includes "Student Voices," answers and questions from students (grades 5 through 8) related to each seder topic that can serve as conversation starters for your own seder.
