Product Description
The Women’s Seder Sourcebook is an extensive and inspiring resource for planning a women’s seder, based on information from successful seder organizers around the world. This practical guide gathers the voices of more than one hundred women in the form of readings, personal and creative reflections, commentaries, and ritual suggestions that can be incorporated into your Passover celebration. It also includes discussion questions and exercises to help you and participants in your seder gain a deeper understanding of this exciting evolution in Judaism.

The Women’s Seder Sourcebook provides the tools you need to bring women’s voices to your Passover celebration, create a women’s seder of your own, and share in the unique perspectives that are essential to our evolving understanding of this holiday. Organized according to the order of the seder, this comprehensive collection includes:

  • Inspiring background information on each part of the seder
  • Overviews of how each aspect of the Passover ritual has been reinterpreted in a feminist context
  • Readings, commentaries, blessings and rituals from more than one hundred women, to serve as supplements to or substitutes for traditional passages of the haggadah.
  • Women’s writings that can be incorporated into the family seder to bring new voices to the table
