The Night That Unites Passover Haggadah

Overview

This book is the first Haggadah that brings together the teachings of three of the most influential and brilliant Rabbinic personalities of the 20th century: Rabbi Kook, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach, and Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik. The Night That Unites also offers a special section of contemporary readings and stories related to the Land of Israel and the Holocaust.

Reviews

"Envelops into one volume some of the best teachings that each of these Torah luminaries brought forward in the last century. The choice of teachings, stories, and questions contained in this collective work represents some of the finest Torah learning for presentment at your Seder table."  —Alan Jay Gerber, Jewish Star

"The Haggadah's layout makes it easy to follow the order of the seder, and Perlmutter's drawings at the start of each section are spectacular. The book is comprehensive. . . . a collector's item."   —Steve Lipman, Jewish Week

"So this is, at least in my opinion, the best new haggadah of the year, and I recommend that you bring it to your table on seder night. It is the next best thing to having three of the giants of Jewish life sitting there with you."  —Rabbi Jack Riemer, South Florida Jewish Journal

"Hands down the best new entry of the year. . . . I learned a lot, and considering that I've reviewed a dozen Haggadot in each of the last six years, that's saying something."  —Jay Michaelson, Jewish Daily Forward

"Offering a fresh and original look at the Seder night, this Passover Haggadah is a unique compilation of the teachings of Rav Kook, Rabbi Soloveitchik, and Reb Carlebach. Together with discussion questions and contemporary insights, this Haggadah powerfully engages the reader on the most compelling and memorable night of the year – The Night That Unites." —Dov Peretz Elkins, Jewish Media Review
