"Jan Aronson has illustrated Edgar Bronfman's text with skill and imagination to delight everyone at the Passover seder table." ~Milton Esterow, ARTNews " The Bronfman Haggadah is an aesthetic treat and an inspiration for all who would aspire to create a personal haggadah for their family use." ~Rabbi Harold Kushner, "Jan Aronson has illustrated Edgar Bronfman's text with skill and imagination to delight everyone at the Passover seder table." ~Milton Esterow, ARTNews " The Bronfman Haggadah is an esthetic treat and an inspiration for all who would aspire to create a personal haggadah for their family use." ~Rabbi Harold Kushner " The Bronfman Haggadah has everything I want in a seder guest. It's clear-headed but allows for argument. It's straightforward but has a flair for the dramatic. It's colorful but not tacky, opinionated but not dogmatic, and it's not so long-winded that the soup gets cold. Dive in!" ~Daniel Handler, Author "Edgar Bronfman and Jan Aronson have brought together their verbal and visual modes of understanding to create an extraordinary haggadah. The images transform and illuminate our journey from slavery to freedom, while the text makes each participant feel part of the narrative. Together, they offer a new dimension to the experience of Passover. A beautiful work." ~Tobi Kahn, Artist "The Bronfman Haggadah is an esthetic treat and an inspiration for all who would aspire to create a personal haggadah for their family use." ~Rabbi Harold Kushner "The beautifully produced Bronfman Haggadah is a daring and creative re-reading of the traditional text. It will make for a seder like you never had before, and is sure to cause lots of questioning and discussion. And that is precisely the point! Enjoy it!" ~Rabbi Arthur Green, author of " Radical Judaism: Rethinking God and Tradition" "The magnificent Bronfman Haggadah combines first rate biblical scholarship, keen theological sensitivity and penetrating transcendent insights. It takes the well known and treasured Jewish story and traces how it evolved over the centuries into being a deeply human story. Jan Aronson's artistic contributions to this Haggadah serve to draw the reader beyond the literal words of the text into the universality of their meaning. It is a book I shall treasure." ~ John Shelby Spong, Author of "Liberating the Gospels: Reading the Bible with Jewish Eyes " "Jan Aronson has illustrated Edgar Bronfman's text with skill and imagination to delight everyone at the Passover seder table." ~ Milton Esterow "The Passover haggadah is not a static document but a living one that must be refashioned for every generation. The new Bronfman Haggadah has...wise commentaries, powerful poetry and stunning watercolors. This is a haggadah that will enrich every seder table." ~Ari L. Goldman, author of The Search for God at Harvard and editor of In Every Generation: The JDC Haggadah .
