An assessment of their general aims with this haggadah: They try to avoid fluffy, homiletic divrei Torah. They try to avoid vertlach. Where they ask famous questions, they try to get to the underlying peshat of what the haggadah is trying to say, what the basis of the derashot are, and what the haggadah is trying to accomplish at each step. Thus, they also provide an introduction to the structure of the haggadah, and introduce things as Rav's introduction and Shmuel's introduction, etc.. All done in a conversational style.A haggadah my Haburah worked on. If you like it, please pass it on. We would prefer to keep it anonymous but any questions, suggestions, critiques, or criticisms can be sent to:Take care and have a Hag Sameach :)
As mentioned above, they would like comments, and would like people to forward it to others, so feel free to do so.

I downloaded it from BeyondBT, and started reading through it - it has some very interesting stuff on the structure of the haggadah. Kol HaKavod to the authors!
So did you PhotoShop the picture yourself?
nope.
took it from the haggada.
and i think they took it from a real absolut ad.
fantastic Hagadah. Just the right mix of seriousness and comedy. Well done. I hope you don't mind that I have put a link to this page on my blog (www.rabbisedley.blogspot.com) so that others can see it as well. Kol Hakavod.
thanks for the link.
And I'm sure the authors of the haggadah are grateful as well for the link and writeup. They are trying for a wide distribution this year, and for comments.
Kol Tuv,
Josh
very nice.
i agree... the only problem is the expense of printing it out in full color :-P
