Jennie, y...(Sorry this comment is a month late...)<br /><br />Jennie, your seder sounds like fun! Our family never used the Maxwell House Haggadah, which is written in archaic language (thou hath, etc.) and really more orthodox. The Haggadah we used is called Haggadah for the American Family and was written by Martin Berkowitz, who was the rabbi of a reform congregation in Merion, PA. It did also have a coffee connection though - it was published in 1958 and distributed as a premium by Standard Brands, makers of Chase & Sanborn coffee. While not beautifully illustrated (they were free, after all!), this Haggadah is well written and has an emotional connection from my childhood. I inherited a few copies from my mom which, naturally, were falling apart. A few years ago I was going to host a larger seder for extended family and was wondering if I could somehow get more copies. Although I'd never seen this Haggadah available anywhere, through the magic of the internet I discovered that the rabbi's son was now selling them from a website. (Only $2.95 each and printed on much better paper than the old free ones.) So a family tradition was renewed.<br /><br />http://www.americanhaggadah.com/ChiJrsyMshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591636162858102148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5048986397077288873.post-29362511577101862082010-04-01T11:57:26.204-07:002010-04-01T11:57:26.204-07:00Thanks for sharing your celebrations.

I love helping the ladies in the village twist the shapes and I am in charge of the sesame seed sprinkling. For a British expat, to be included in this is an honour.Glynis Peters https://www.blogger.com/profile/01175378917872403609noreply@blogger.com
