Recenzii

"Explains each step in the Seder in simple language to provide a deeper understanding of the spiritual reason behind each practice. . . . Simple enough for older children to read and understand, it even comes with pre-stained wine drops on the pages about the ten plagues!" -- About Our Children, an insert in New Jersey/Rockland Media Group newspapers
"Polisar's narrative is clear and simple without being in any way patronizing to the broad age range likely to read or hear this Haggadah; the illustrations, supplied by Polisar's daughter, are vivid and exciting." -- Library Journal
"Polisar distills the Seder into easy-to-follow steps and gives historical background so we can . . . reconnect with the spiritual reasons that gave birth to our traditions." -- Hadassah Magazine
"Polisar's narrative is clear and simple in a way that is accessible to everyone." -- New Mexico Jewish Link
"Without abridging the elements of the Seder or diluting its message, Telling The Story . . . is truly a Haggadah a family can enjoy for many years." -- The Jewish Standard
Seeks to re-imbue Passover rituals with relevency to people's lives. The beautiful paintings, created by his daughter, are mostly portraits done in rich, warm colors, full of feeling and with a flowing quality, mirroring the depth and movement of the Seder." -- The Jewish Advocate
"Polisar does a superb job at presenting the . . . concepts behind the practices in a clear and meaningful way, while still keeping his Haggadah relatively brief. Attractive and nicely designed, it features sensitive illustrations by Polisar's daughter." -- Jewish Woman Magazine
