Pass Over to Freedom (Chassidic Tales for the Jewish Holidays) Kindle Edition

See all formats and editions
The Passover Seder is a time when Jewish families around the world gather together to retell the story of the Jewish People’s passage from slavery in Egypt to freedom. It is also a time when we share stories about our Sages, such as the 15 stories in this book – one story for each step in the Seder - which have been culled from the vast repository of Chassidic tales and other traditional Jewish stories pertaining to the Passover holiday and the Haggadah.

Join Rabbi Shmelke of Nikolsburg, the Ohev Yisrael, the Gerrer Rebbe, the Beis Halevi, the Chofetz Chaim and others on this journey to discover why the night of the Passover Seder really is different from all other nights.

Her retelling of Chassidic tales has been published in the box set "Choose Light! Chassidic Tales for Chanukah, Rosh Hashanah, Sukkos, Passover & Shavuos."

And last but certainly not least, she is the author of "The Latke in the Library & Other Mystery Stories for Chanukah" and "Dying for Chametz & Other Mystery Stories for Passover," humorous homages to Dame Agatha Christie .

She lives in Jerusalem, Israel.

Ha Morah Libi is present in every festival's table of my family. She "was" with us for Chanuka, and now she "will be" for Pesach.
Her tales are the best, and she es really didactic. Her stories are "kosher" for every jewish branches.
She is the best. Thanks you Morah!
