The Torah tells us that the Exodus from Egypt took place as a “mixed multitude,” a diverse assembly of Israelites and fellow travelers. Haggadah Shel Erev Rav: The Mixed Multitude Haggadah celebrates this sacred multivocality of the Jewish people, helping us rediscover the Passover story with fresh eyes and a vibrant imagination. It offers four unique pathways into the story—centering children, women, the call for social justice, and God’s presence in liberation. The lucid, inclusive translation and commentary are enhanced by original illustrations by Indian Jewish artist Siona Benjamin, presenting in gorgeous color. Deeply rooted in tradition yet alive with contemporary meaning, this beautiful Haggadah will transform your seder into a journey of reflection, connection, and renewal.
