A few pages into The Ministry of Special Cases, it becomes clear how much [Englander] has to bring to the topic: pitch-black humor, a skeptical affection for his characters, and the narrative ability to trace the impact of fascism-with-a-modern-face on a cluster of lives."―The Seattle Times

We purchased and used this Haggadah for the first time this year. Having used many different Haggadahs over the years, here are my thoughts on this one. Pros: really thoughtful and insightful readings; at first I wasn't so sure about the translation Lord our God, God of Us, but it actually grew on me; my history buff college age son loved the historical timeline and notes that appeared at the topmost edge and ran through the entire volume; my middle teenage science nerd son loved that the volume encouraged him to hold it sideways for some readings; we read many of the sets of 4 mini essays that appear throughout the volume, these were terrific conversation starters for older children, teens and college students. Cons: LONG, did I mention LONG; few transliterations to aid those at the table who are not confident with the Hebrew, the Hebrew font is difficult to read, the Hebrew font changes font sizes many times in one paragraph which is very difficult for the older folks at the table, sometimes the Hebrew is printed on top of illustrations that make vowel identification a little tricky in spots; the main sections of the seder are not well marked, often the important notes that identify sections appear as notes in a tiny font on the edges of the sections. This Haggadah would have benefited from better organization and labeling. We like to use supplementary materials and readings from past loved Haggadahs, so when we wanted to tuck out and then tuck back in to this Haggadah, it was often difficult to find well-known sections of the seder. Even for those who know the seder service well, I would recommend spending an hour with the book before you lead a table service with a pen and a pad of yellow stickies to clearly mark sections you want to use, since it is so very long with so very many options for readings, another important preparation step is to mark the pages and readings that you know you don't want to use, we did lose quite a bit of time trying to find our way through the volume, some of our favorite songs were not there (or at least we could not find them) and so we went scrambling for another Haggadah for the after the dinner portion of the service. Our consensus on how we will use this Haggadah in the future is likely as a source of readings and supplements to another Haggadah. The readings really were fabulous and lend themselves to both spirited discussion and personal reflection.
As everyone has said, the English translation in this Haggadah is wonderful. The change to "God of Us" intead of Our God, is an example of the small changes that can make reading this remarkable.There are no transliterations, which can be challenging in a mixed group. The language for God is only male, which can be startling for people used to gender neutral references to God.The "extras" to the traditional Haggadah language - other writings/musings on the theme - are written sideways on pages that only have these writings. The time line throughout the haggadah is also interesting for its context and its choices.
I picked up the new Foer/Englander haggadah and used it during the first night of Passover this year. I can't say that I came way massively impressed. I wasn't dissapointed by any means but it wasn't as if I feel everyone needs to rush out and go get this haggadah for next year's holiday. Is the artwork pleasing to see in a haggadah--yes. Are the stories interesting--sure they are.The House of Study, Library, Playground, Nation readings were interesting but I would have preferred to see them sprinkled throughout the haggdah instead of uniformly on one page at certain point. The best part of the haggadah I found was the timeline but the way it was written forces you to rotate your haggdah in an unnatural way and really in my mind takes away from the overall experience of the haggdah.My feeling is that this is a good but not great haggdah that got a lot of hype because of Jonathan Safran Foer editing it and that it is not a must have in future years.
I heard an interview with Englander on NPR and was intrigued when he talked about a faithful oral tradition describing the darkness of Exodus as "clotted" and thick. But I'm afraid the other 1-star reviewers are correct in their comments and I will not repeat them all here. What WAS interesting about the book was its timeline of the history of the Seder and its practice over time, although it became a bit tangential at places where it records the mere mention of the Passover in the writing of the likes of Joyce and Faulkner. The commentary by the author also feels irreverent when he says that G-d is just, but not "right" in His judgment of Egypt (p.66), and is infused with political correctness throughout - on the same page the author compares Egypt's judgment to "karma".
Last week we took delivery of the Foer/Englander Haggadah; my wife and I have been reading it all week long in preparation for the two seders which we host for family and friends.During our process of changing dishes and augering boxes, I found an old newspaper I used to wrap Passover dishes many years earlier. It was the NY Times from April 2nd, 1999 and in front of me was the book review for Mr. Englander's book--'For the Relief of Unbearable Urges', one of his first.I took this as a sign that this review was waiting for me, all these 13 years to re-discover and read along with his co-authored Haggadah.Was this fate? Destiny? Coincidence? Or, was it just one of those things that happen that can change the course of one's mindset?I don't know. But I do recommend both of these works to all who seek a different and indeed refreshing perspective on things.
