Guide to the Perplexed Seder Leader
with Noam Zion
A Shalom Hartman Institute Program
Using the Haggadot he composed and many more new ideas and stories, Noam Zion will make a practical difference in your seder and help you make this year's seder night a little different from all other seder nights. For veterans and novices alike!
Examine what the rabbis really intended us to do in creating a seder which maximizes storytelling, discussion and educational fun. Consider why, for thousands of years, seders have been so frozen, so concentrated on recitation rather than drama and debate. After we unlearn what we thought the seder was supposed to be, we will offer multiple ways to customize the seder to your own family's needs.
Noam Zion has been a Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute since 1978 and has an ABD in philosophy from Columbia University. He has directed the Inservice Teacher Training Seminar, the Russian Jewish Scholars Program, The TICHON Day School Program for Judaica Faculty at North American High Schools and the Christian Leadership Institute Seminar. Zion is also on the faculty of the enrichment program (RLI) and is a curriculum writer specializing in Bible and Rabbinic Ethics. His numerous publications include: A Different Night: The Family Participation Haggadah, A Different Light: The Big Book of Hanukkah, A Day Apart: Shabbat at Home and A Night to Remember: A Haggadah of Contemporary Voices.
