Knowing little to nothing of the Jewish faith and ceremonies, I loved the discovery that the prayers are uplifting and inspiring praises of God. I imagine the newer editions are the same, but I liked holding a devotional Jewish prayerbook that held up the torch of faith through the war years.
In addition to the Seder service, there is a discussion of the Seder and how to prepare for it as well as a history of the holiday and lots of discussion about it. Interspersed throughout the service is sheet music for songs to include. Hebrew appears on facing pages with no transliteration. The book is read from left to right. I like the small, stately black illustrations. Interesting to compare this with the newer Union Haggadah, which restores things omitted from this version.
It was the current version of the Prayers used by Reform Jews at the time. It has since been replaced by Gates of Prayer.
