The goal of this blog is to help make this Shabbat "gadol" - truly great. Please print and share.
Serious question: how are you going to make next Friday night different from all other nights?
If you're leading a Seder, you might want to start with my 2-page Art of Leading an Amazing Seder and get a copy of the Art of Amazement Haggada.
(If you already have one and want to know what's trending in Haggadas, shoot me an email.)
When you look at my 2-pager, you'll see a list of 10 Tips and Tricks.

Now, here's a question to stump everyone at the Passover Seder. I asked this one a few years ago, maybe it's a good time to dust it off:
What did ancient people call Egypt?
Romans called it "Egypt" - from the native name for Memphis.
What did Egyptians call it?
Kemet - "Blackland".
But what's most interesting, and the main question this week for your table is:
What does the Torah call it and why?

Tip #5:
-
Prepare two gifts for each participant. One is a small inexpensive gift: a toy, silly glasses, etc. The second is a more meaningful gift: preferably a book. (See www.bestjewishkidsbooks.com
for suggestions of both types.) Gifts are especially important for
young children. Give the small ones at random times, such as when a
child answers a question or reads a line from the Haggada. Tell them
that you have a bigger gift for anyone who stays awake until the end of
the Seder....

Other props to prepare, for the Ten Plagues — again, we've compiled a quick list for you here.
