Synopsis
Why is this night different from all other nights of the year; and what does the game of baseball have to do with the Festival of Passover and the seder? Incorporating images and language from another springtime ritual, this baseball themed Passover Haggadah retells the story of the Israelites' Exodus from slavery in Egypt with faithfulness to the contours of a traditional seder. By holding up the Exodus next to the concept of a beloved national pastime, connections are made that cast light on the Passover story in new and unexpected patterns. This enchanting Haggadah with its vivid illustrations will capture the imagination of seder participants of all ages (from little leaguers to adults). By infusing an old ritual with thought provoking readings and new insights, this Haggadah may stand alone as the sole text at a religious school model seder or can be used as a supplementary Haggadah in traditional or liberal homes. Values taught at the seder, such as love of freedom, kindness to strangers, and concern for others, are celebrated in this user friendly text with particular sensitivity to gender equality and transliteration for non-Hebrew readers. With Moses as the team captain for the Israelites and Pharaoh heading up the Taskmasters, the lineups struggle for dominance. God throws the ultimate "splitter," making way for the Israelites to cross the Sea of Reeds. Each participant takes a turn up at bat as a reader. There is a 7th Inning Stretch, during which the children can go to the door to search for and welcome the presence of Elijah. Ultimately, there is praise and joy and celebration. Freedom has been won. The Israelites, have made it safely home, and springtime is renewed on a field of green., Rabbi Sharon G. Forman, a little league mom, has lovingly reinterpreted the Haggadah text through the lens of another beloved springtime ritual, baseball.This sports oriented Haggadah, or guide to the Passover seder, portrays the story of the Exodus as a lively baseball game. Adhering to the general contours of a traditional seder, this Haggadah is filled with baseball references. With Moses as the team captain for the Israelites and Pharaoh heading up the Taskmasters, the lineups struggle for dominance. God throws the ultimate "splitter," making way for the Israelites to cross the Sea of Reeds. With illustrations by artist, Lisa J. Teitelbaum, and a foreword by Jon Daniels, General Manager of the Texas Rangers, and his brother, Ryan, a soon-to-be-ordained Reform rabbi, this Haggadah provides a joyful way to connect to the traditions and values taught in a modern Passover seder, such as love of freedom, kindness to strangers, and a concern for the weaker members of society. The user-friendly text is written with particular sensitivity to gender equality and includes transliteration for non-Hebrew readers. With a bit of imagination, home plate transforms into a seder plate, and the baseball diamond morphs into a square of matzah turned on its side. Perfect for religious school model seders or as a supplementary Haggadah for baseball lovers of all ages.

    Better than advertised: this book is in pristine condition. It shipped quickly, was priced fairly, and was well packed in a padded mailer so that it would survive the trip. All around a very good value, and this is a seller I'd be happy to buy from again.

    Most importantly, the book condition was as specified. Many thanks for that. Also, the book was delivered promptly from the USA to the UK. Also, the price was reasonable for an out-of-print book. However, one point of constructive criticism: the packaging could have been much better, in order to better protect the book in transit. The book was sent in a bubble-wrap mailer only, with no cardboard to give the package greater strength. Thank you very much for any consideration of my feedback.
