HaKol Baseder's title starts you off on a journey. It's a clever play on words mean­ing everything you need for the seder but also implying a similar phrase which means everything is just great. It sets the tone for a fun, rich, information-filled seder experience sure to enhance the meaning and celebra­tion of the holiday. The kit is chock-full of surprises. The basis, of course is a haggadah, soft-covered but beautifully illustrated as well as clearly and accessibly translated. The haggadah includes a thought-provoking and educational introduction focusing on putting the seder into the context of Jewish history and present times. It ends with the Hatikva, reminding us of the centrality of Israel to our past, present and future. There are a number of bonus surprises in the packet, as well: a set of six small, illustrated birchonim (Grace After Meals booklets) and a wine bottle stopper to use at the seder or for the remainder of the holiday. But the heart of the kit, the unusual piece that causes it to stand out from the crowd, is a two-part holiday preparation guide which will enable a family, especially if there are children involved, to understand what hap­pens at the seder table on a deeper level than many Passover preparation materials provide. No family can possibly use all seventy activity suggestions in any given year, so there are new sources of learning and enjoyment at your fingertips for years and years to come.

"This is a great kit that I believe many families would be interested in buying and using." Jewish Book Council
