Musleah has taken a standard Hebrew text for the Seder, complete with English translation and transliteration, and embellished it with stories, songs, dance, and drama, intended for "family celebration." Strict traditionalists will likely prefer a more straightforward Seder text, but those looking to enrich their celebration may welcome a guide that empowers children to take a leading role in the practice of their faith.
