Well­springs of Free­dom: The Renew Our Days Hag­gadah, brings a fresh per­spec­tive to a famil­iar tale. It tells the sto­ry in a ​“split screen” for­mat as both the col­lec­tive, his­tor­i­cal jour­ney of our peo­ple and the per­son­al, inner jour­ney. At 148 pages, the soft­cov­er, sewn bound, 7.5″ x 9.5″ Hag­gadah offers con­tem­pla­tive com­men­taries based on pre­vi­ous­ly untrans­lat­ed Hasidic insights into the Hag­gadah that speak to the con­tem­po­rary seek­er. Offers com­men­taries based on a pre­vi­ous­ly untrans­lat­ed col­lec­tion of Ḥasidic insights into the Hag­gadah for the con­tem­po­rary seek­er. Links each of the tra­di­tion­al siman­im or ​“guide­posts” of the Seder to a theme that explores a facet of free­dom in our lives today. (E.g., Kad­desh-free­dom in rela­tion to our use of time; Karpas-free­dom and our rela­tion­ship to nature and the envi­ron­ment.) Pro­vides user-friend­ly cues for a fail-safe Seder, as well as for nav­i­gat­ing a briefer, child-ori­ent­ed Seder. Cre­ates a stun­ning visu­al midrash (com­men­tary) on the Passover Hag­gadah with col­or art­work by J.W. Stew­art.
