Looking for a humanist modern version Haggadah with a feminist twist?
Feel free to use this one I compiled in 2001.
It has illustrations
on each page to spice it up a bit. It contains
no
references to a
higher power, it includes an orange on the Seder plate, it is
inclusive in language to both Jews and non-Jews and it refers to
contemporary plagues such as hunger, war and racism.
It's available here in .doc format:
Humanist Modern
Version Haggadah for Passover
or pdf: Humanist Modern
Version Haggadah for Passover
Enjoy!-->
On this page, you can
find links to audio files of some of the featured
songs. Thanks to Inna Barmash for this helpful resource.
The sources for most of the text are A Humanist Haggadah for
Passover of The Washington Congregation for Secular Humanistic Judaism
and Passover Haggadah
for a Secular-Humanist Seder of the City Congregation for Humanistic
Judaism, New York City.

Ask everyone to bring an object that has special meaning to them. Go
around the table and share the stories. I did this one year and it worked
out really well!
