Pass Over to Freedom: 15 Jewish Tales for Passover

By Libi Astaire

The Passover Seder is a time when Jewish families around the world gather together to retell the story of the Jewish People’s passage from slavery in Egypt to freedom. It is also a time when we share stories about our Sages, such as the 15 stories in this book – one story for each step in the Seder - which have been culled from the vast repository of Chassidic and other traditional Jewish stories pertaining to the Passover holiday and the Haggadah.

Join Rabbi Elimelech of Lyzhensk, Rabbi Shmelke of Nikolsburg, the Ohev Yisrael, the Beis Halevi, the Chofetz Chaim and others on this journey to discover why the night of the Passover Seder really is different from all other nights.
