Rating:  - Wonderful new insight
For anyone who is looking for a new insight into their seders, this is what you need. The The Family Participation Haggadah "A Different Night" is just perfect and this is a great leader's guide. I am orthodox and after years of hearing people just trying to "get through it", I've recommended this Haggadah and everyone's had the same response: "Just terrific!"
You will have new material for years to come!!
Rating:  - Plain Jane Supplement
Though I was very impressed with the Haggadah A DIFFERENT NIGHT, its companion Leader's Guide leaves you wanting more. There are more additions, exploitations, and stimuli than you could ever get through in a single night, and probably several years of Sederim.

Excellent suggestions on how to be a good Seder leader, lots of background information, great suggestions to liven up your Seder, readings you can insert. Its just a treasure of useful stuff. People might actually have FUN at your Seder, and learn something too! I've been leading large Seders (30+ people) for friends and family for 10 years now. The Leaders's ... Read More
Rating: - helps you plan a fantastic seder
The Family Participationhaggadah is full of ideas to enhance your seder. Too full, actually. The leader's guides really holds your hand and helps you decide what to include and what to skip. It helps you analyze what parts of the seder are crucial for you to feel that you've had a proper seder and what are the ones you all could do without. It pays special attention to children's needs. Bravo.
