Passover novices will enjoy this creative, step-by-step how-to guide, written entirely in English and geared for today's families. The Kays provide very basic information about all the components of preparing and hosting a seder, from selecting a Haggadah to planning different types of menus. The book's second half walks readers through the 15 elements of the seder experience. The authors show a special sensitivity for interfaith and interracial families, and a slightly earthy-crunchy slant. (Alongside the traditional pre-Passover-search-and-destroy mission for leaven, for example, they suggest purging the home of any products that may have been tested on animals.) Particularly helpful are the "tip" boxes scattered throughout the book, sharing practical and personal suggestions from real-life seder celebrants. The Kays also offer recipes, songs, stories, a glossary of terms and numerous referrals to other books for information about specific aspects of the seder experience. (Jan. 9) ( Publishers Weekly , February 9, 2004) Two hands-on Passover guides promise help with making a more personal, meaningful seder. Rabbi Alan Kay and Jo Kay offer Make Your Own Passover Seder: A New Approach to Creating a Personal Family Celebration , a creative, step-by-step how-to guide written entirely in English and geared for today's families.
