In a generation that has seen an explosion in popularity of books about mystical and meditative traditions, very little has been published about the rich and fascinating mystical traditions of the Jewish holy days. Passover, the first religious holiday of the Jewish people, particularly rewards a re-viewing from a mystical perspective. A Mystical Haggadah takes readers through the Passover ritual with Kabbalistic meditations and affirmations in a friendly, accessible format. This Haggadah also includes many Hassidic teachings and stories that have never been presented to the English reading audience. The book is especially valuable for its transliterations of all the major prayers and rituals, and is refreshing in its creative and spiritually-based adaptation and translation of the primary Haggadah text. A Mystical Haggadah is for all spiritual seekers who wish to explore this root tradition of Judaism as a ritual of cosmic importance. The book is also for Jewish seekers of all denominations who wish to explore the mystical, meditative, and empowering aspects of Jewish traditions as seen through the rich and meaningful Passover eve Seder ritual.

Don't bother.:
If you are thinking about this Hagadah, stop right now! Sure it contains the necessary components to lead a seder, but it is not particularly insightful and won't help you or yours to a better or fresher understanding of the text. The stories/legends that are interwoven within the Hagadah feel stale and poorly complement the text. Although they may be beloved tales of scholars of the Zohar, they fail to bring inspiration to the reader. You would be far better off digging out your parents old "Maxwell House"... more info
