CANADIAN JEWRY DESERVES ITS OWN HAGGADAH. As the fourth-largest Jewish community in the world, the Canadian Jewish community has long impacted many areas of our nation’s character: law, politics, economy, science, medicine, the arts, and more. Moreover, Canadian Jewry has an identity that distinguishes it from Jewish communities in other countries. This distinct identity has led us to create this Haggadah, which contains a distinct Canadian flavour: It is created by Canadians and for Canadians, in both national languages, with commentary from across Canada’s denominational and geographical spectrum, and with historical references that evoke the depth and breadth of the Canadian Jewish experience. In the Canadian Haggadah Canadienne, we offer a Canadian perspective on our timeless story of freedom—our Jewish history as seen through Canadian eyes. **Available March 1, 2015** LA COMMUNAUTÉ JUIVE CANADIENNE MÉRITE SA PROPRE HAGGADAH. Formant la quatrième plus grosse communauté juive du monde, l’influence des Juifs canadiens se fait sentir dans plusieurs secteurs de notre vie nationale: droit, politique, économie, science, médecine, culture et autres. De plus, la communauté juive canadienne a une identité qui la distingue des autres communautés juives dans le monde. Cette identité distincte nous a amenés à créer cette Haggadah, qui a une saveur bien canadienne. Elle a été créée par des Canadiens et pour des Canadiens, dans nos deux langues nationales, avec des commentaires provenant de rabbins de tout le spectre géographique et confessionnel. Grâce à des références historiques, cette Haggadah évoque toute la richesse de l’expérience juive canadienne. Avec cette Canadian Haggadah Canadienne, nous offrons une perspective canadienne sur notre histoire immémoriale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Une haggadah bilingue canadienne!

Finalement, une Haggadah que nous pouvons utiliser pour nos seders bilingues! Depuis plusieurs années, nous utilisions différentes haggadot et devions trouver les équivalences anglais/français pour parvenir à faire un Seder dans les deux langues sans se perdre. Maintenant, grâce à cette superbe œuvre canadienne, nous pouvons facilement suivre et tout le monde comprend!
Les photos et les brins d'histoire de la communauté juive canadienne sont une belle touche, fort appréciée.

4.0 out of 5 stars Canadian Haggadah Canadienne a welcome addition to the Passover Seder.

An excellent addition to our Passover Seder this year. It was great to have a tri-lingual Haggadah. The guide includes some excellent articles by Canadian Rabbis and Jewish leaders, and a wonderful collection of black and white photos from Canadian Jewish archives. The text was easy to read and the print size was perfect. Contrary to some rumours, the four s cups of wine are not really replaced with four cups of maple syrup..

Beautifully done. First time the Seder ritual can be followed simultaneously in 3 languages. It is truely Canadian with pictures and story bits from across the country. It doesn't hurt that my picture is on the cover along with my school mates from the Jewish Peretz School on Duluth Street in Montreal in 1948 visiting a Matzo plant on the South Shore. My personal congrats to Rabbi Scheier and Richard Marceau who collaborated on this publication.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Haggadah for Canada
Reviewed in Canada on March 31, 2018

A beautifully edited book that combines the traditional haggadah text (including bilingual French/English translation) with fascinating vignettes and photos on the history of Canadian Jewry. Although we don't use this as our primary haggadah, it's a great addition and we use the book to pull additional interesting things to use during the seder.
