How does this Haggadah differ from all others? Welcome to the Exodus Haggadah website. The purpose of the Passover Seder is to tell the remarkable story of the Exodus, our ancestors’ Departure from Egyptian slavery. The Haggadah is the guidebook to the Seder, cueing prayers, songs, discussion, and consumption of foods to aid the telling. Because the authors of the Traditional Haggadah presumed the people knew the story and would tell it at the Seder, they merely summarized the story in the Haggadah. Ironically, it became customary to recite the Haggadah and omit the story. For many, this use of the Haggadah is confusing and unsatisfying. The Exodus Haggadah is designed to be accessible to all, regardless of schooling in Jewish history and religion. Unique among Haggadot, the Exodus Haggadah includes the full story of the Departure, newly translated from the Book of Exodus using principles of comparative linguistics. The prayers and comments of the Traditional Haggadah are woven into the story, elucidating it, not replacing it. Notes on word origins, puns, Egyptian culture, the parting of the Sea, are also included. Reading the essential bold text, a family can narrate the remarkable events that led to the founding of the Jewish people, holding a meaningful Seder in about 45 minutes before the meal.
