**About the Book** For centuries Jewish people have celebrated their liberation from slavery in Egypt with Passover Seders. This contemporary version provides new meaning and insight to this tradition. Through poetic text, rich illustration, and song, Journey of Questions and Faith delivers this ancient story to Jewish or interfaith groups in understandable and relevant words. Universal themes of freedom, justice, and peace lead participants to reflect on their own values and their choices for right action. Thought-provoking, minimalist sketches by famous artist Arthur Sussman emphasize the challenging ideas and spiritual focus of this book. People who are already familiar with the Passover Seder will ask, "What makes this Haggadah different from all the others?" Starting from the traditional usage of four cups that correspond to four promises, this Haggadah also links the four questions of How? What? Where? and When? to the four promises. The pattern of the past, present, and future, which the ancient rabbis had created, has been highlighted with special attention being placed on the future. New and thoughtful ways of interpreting the tradition are woven throughout this Haggadah. **Edition Notes** Further details, Table of Contents, Forward and sample pages are available at: http://Journey.AnneMcGoey.com • Direct sales via shopping cart available at website • Contact Author Form available at website
