This haggadah is a script for sharing the Passover Seder together in a contemporary manner. All the rituals and symbols of Passover are explained in a way that brings the past into the present in a manner which is enjoyable, meaningful, and informative. This unique haggadah is lesbian centered and woman affirming. It is truly a celebration for all.
The orange represents a feminist vision of what is possible. It honors all women who paved their way despite all the difficulties encountered. Any person in the world who is marginalized has hope in the orange. We no longer accept patriarchy or invisibility. We are all equal.
Now, each year at Passover, we give to an orange the place of honor on our Seder Plate.
