Tues., March 13, 7:30 pm: Jonathan Safran Foer with David Ulin on the New American Haggadah

Each year, as Passover rolls around, many of us turn to our bookshelves and wonder if something better has turned up in the world of haggadas.  Something interesting. Perhaps something meaningful.  Perhaps something that resonates more than the worn out haggadas that we’ve used for the past 10, 15, even 50 years.  When a new haggadah hits the stands, it’s reason to take notice.
