An Invitation to Passover
Written by Rabbi Kerry Olitzky
and Rabbi Deborah Bodin Cohen
Illustrated by Mariia Kolker
Published by Kalaniot Books
When Hannah’s extended family isn’t able to join her for their traditional Passover seder, she invites her diverse group of friends to experience the holiday with her. From Ha-joon’s Korean kimchi, to Monique’s hymn lyrics, each friend brings a bit of their own culture to the celebration. And with each guest the themes of freedom, hope, and thanks become more meaningful.
A note tells the Passover story and a glossary defines vocabulary.
