Review
One of this year's most compelling new entries. ...meaty commentary from leading Open Orthodox figures on everything. One of this year's most compelling new entries. --David Wilensky, JTA- Jewish Telegraphic Agency" (03/29/2015)"By all criteria the Lieberman Open Orthodox Haggadah by Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld released just two weeks before Passover is a smashing success Congregants have already bought every copy, yet historians should acquire a copy of this work to document the changes in American Jewry. This Hagadah offers a message for active people- doers who want to change the world. The haggadah reflects an ethos that educated laity should take an active role. And several synagogues in various parts of the US replaced their long time rabbis with newer YU rabbis who are more about inclusion, family activities, and social orientation. A haggadah can only contain this much critique of the system if a significant number of homes did not already feel alienated. In short, this Haggadah oozes moxie and a direct appeal to those who like the Orthodox lifestyle but find a tension with what they perceive as the abuses of the system. All who are hungry for this moxie, let them come and eat. --Alan Brill, Kavannah blogI highly recommend reading the haggadah … good for your midot or character building I find the content meaningful and thought provoking The haggada has many useful features, including the simple questions (great for opening discussions with children) in each section. --Birkat Chaverim Blog

I was disappointed in this Haggadah. The essays are good, but could have used better editing. I was looking for text commentary, but got a manifesto instead. Though I agree with the stands taken, this just seemed like an easy way to get the author's religious world view out into the public sphere. Haggadot sell well, in general.
I read this Haggadah before Passover and Rabbi Herzfeld's insights and views are extremely enlightening. I also used it at both Seders, and it added a level of intellectual stimulation that is hard to come by. There are entries geared towards adults and children alike so the whole family can enjoy.Highly recommended!

This is not a typical text with commentary. Instead, the commentary is mostly fairly long essays: some closely tied to the Haggadah, others less so.One of the first essays explains what Herzfeld means by "Open Orthodoxy"- a commitment to traditional halacha, but a willingness to resolve close calls in favor of innovation (especially on women's issues).Some other interesting points made in some of the essays:*One of the more interesting essays discusses the Four Sons ritual. The essay notes that the Torah's apparent reference to the wicked son was (according to one legend) "a good prophecy." Why? Because even if we reject the views of the Wicked Son, "the mere fact that he is studying Torah is a blessing."*Why does Avi Weiss (the creator of the "Open Orthodox" idea) favor female clergy? Weiss writes that there are, and should be, natural barriers between Orthodox rabbis and female congregants; for example, the general Orthodox view is that the rabbi shouldn't dance with her at a wedding or even study alone with her behind closed doors. Female clergy can do these things.*Should an adult drink wine during the Seder or is grape juice adequate? Another essay summarizes the wide diversity of views on the topic (assuming that no health issues prevent one from drinking wine). Some traditional rabbis argue that wine is special, because it alters the senses and thus symbolizes freedom. Others emphasize that taste is subjective, and that it is better to drink grape juice if you don't like wine.*Why does the Haggadah include language asking God to "pour out your wrath on the nations that know You not."? One essay points out that this prayer should be read in conjunction with more universalistic prayers that are said next. The first prayer emphasizes that Jews should "stand up for their own dignity" while the latter prayers emphasize our long-term goals of universal peace and brotherhood.
The haggadah is a book that Jews read during the Passover Seder meal to recall the exodus from Egypt and be inspired to develop a society today when all people, Jews and non-Jews, males and females, and people of all colors can be fully free. This book contains the entire Seder readings along with twenty-four short, enlightening discussions. Among them are an essay by Michel Martin, a non-Jewish veteran host of National Public Radio who writes about the “blessed†impact on her and her family of serving as the buyer of the hametz (the unleavened products) from Jews who attend the local synagogue, the neighborliness this created, and the subsequent result that “half a dozen men from the congregation came running to my aid†when she and her family needed help. Balinsky Friedman writes about the need for congregations to become sensitive to the pain of women who suffer because of infertility, and describes a healing ritual that some groups of women have used to help such women. Rabbi Weiss urges readers in his essay to be sensitive to all people. He notes that we need to be careful about past ideas; for respected rabbinical authorities sometimes made decisions based on incorrect ideas. The author of Mishnah Berurah, for example, thought that women could not understand the words of blessings.These are some of the many topics discussed and explained in this haggadah. Readers will delight in the ubiquitous explanations of the text, the provocative questions, and the discussions of topics such as how to prepare spiritually for Passover, the transformative nature of the four cups, and the meaning of such items as the afikoman.
I like to buy a new Haggadah every year if I can. This enables me to continue to learn something new and bring this new information to the seder table. In my search for a new Haggadah, I look for content and beauty. In the Lieberman Open Orthodox Haggadah Rabbi Herzfeld has presented us, not only with the traditional haggadah text, but with thoughtful questions, comments, and guest articles that illuminate some of the burning issues of our own day such as the Agunah and women's voices. The introduction of these issues in the commentary of this contemporary Haggadah are useful not only for seder table discussion points but for further research and discussion. Rabbi Herzfeld is to be commended for producing this handsome new Haggadah. The illustrations ( and questions) that accompany the text by the award winning artist Caryl Herzfeld truly enhance the publication. I only wish that the artist's name was listed on the title page.
This book is a work of a twisted mind. The so called open orthodox movement are people who’s minds are so open,that their brains fell out. They are a group of rebels seeking the destruction of authentic Judaism. Shame
