Take me out to the Seder! Rab­bi For­man has cre­at­ed a fun and engag­ing reinterpreta­tion of the Passover Hag­gadah for base­ball lovers and their fam­i­lies. This Hag­gadah intro­duces ​“Pre-Game Warm Ups,” sugges­tions for a suc­cess­ful hol­i­day din­ner that include orga­niz­ing the ​“equip­ment” before the game and giv­ing ​“play­ers” uni­forms to add to the cama­raderie. Passover sym­bols are re-imag­ined as objects rel­e­vant to a base­ball game — a z’roa as a base­ball bat and karpas as the base­ball field. The dif­fer­ent steps of the seder are ​“innings” and the seder leader is the ​“announc­er.”

With thought, orig­i­nal­i­ty and respect, For­man adds to the con­ven­tion­al seder rit­u­als. She makes con­nec­tions to the rit­u­als of base­ball and the his­to­ry of the sport. The water­col­or illus­tra­tions rein­force the base­ball theme and elu­ci­date the Passover symbols. 

High­ly rec­om­mend­ed for base­ball-lov­ing fam­i­lies of all ages.
