Reviews: Roadside Seder (1)
“JEWISH DIVERSITY”
(Hardback)
If a tree falls on the highway and there's no one there to clear it, will families still get to Jerusalem for Passover? The highway is crowded with families traveling into Jerusalem to join their loved ones for seders. But when a palm tree blocks the road, no one is going to get to Jerusalem or back home before sunset. A quick thinking youngster suggests that they work together to have a seder right on the roadside. Everyone gathers the goodies that they were bringing with them, and they use the tree as a seder table. This charming story brings together a diverse group of Jews and shows customs from all around the world. Kids will be surprised by the Ethiopian custom of breaking pottery and giggle at the idea of the Persian custom's of beating each other with scallions, because Pharos whips can no longer hurt us. The afikomen bag is hidden for the readers to find in a "Where's Waldo " type of hunt. Although this book will be enjoyed most by Jewish readers, there is a glossary at the back for those readers unfamiliar with the Hebrew terms. There is also a recipe for for charosets! This new book is sure to become a Passover favorite for years to come.
