A rock-and-roll infused Haggadah that brings the intertwined history of Judaism and music to your Seder table.
Passover is one of the most celebrated Jewish holidays. Families all over the world gather around the dining table to recite the story of the Exodus from Egypt, honor the freedom of the Jewish people, and look toward the future. The Rock ‘N’ Roll Haggadah shares the traditional biblical stories and rituals of a standard Haggadah, but it also includes a rich tapestry of anecdotes that speak to the influence of Judaism on artists and their music, and its culinary, historical, and anthropological impact.
Throughout the book, which features English, Hebrew, and transliterations, you’ll find vibrant illustrations and little-known rock and roll references that lightheartedly tie into the narratives of the "Ten Plagues," "Forty Years in the Desert," "Elijah’s Cup," and more. It also includes fun DIY projects such as making a rock-and-roll Egyptian centerpiece and a record album Seder plate, as well as suggestions for a Passover playlist that will enhance any Seder.
Whether you’re hosting or attending a Seder, the book’s wide range of musicians and songs will spark conversations among all generations at the table and provide a fantastic soundtrack for any Passover celebration.
