Haggadah Recommendation

[Anonymous]

There seem to be a ton of alternative Haggadah's out there. I'd love a recommendation if anyone has one. Our family hosts a second night sedar for a large group. They've all gone to first night sedar, so, while we want the bare bones of the ritual, going on tangents and incorporating commentary and activities would be a huge plus. The group ranges from age 7 on up. Some of the group is religious, so nothing truly irreverent (humor is ok), but the group ranges from truly agnostic to barely Conservative. We've been using "A Night of Questions," which is a reconstructionist text. It's great, but I'd love to mix it up a little this year.

I liked the looks of the "New American Hagaddah." I'm ordering a copy from Amazon to preview. But, I don't have a ton of time, nor access to a store with a lot of choices to peruse in person.

Any thoughts?

My favorite way to do second night is to give everyone different Haggadahs and anyone who sees a particularly interesting reading can just read it. It's a fun hodgepodge.

My favorite is the one put together by the Velveteen Rabbi (available for free download at her website-- http://velveteenrabbi.blogs.com/blog/2015/02/velveteen-rabbis-haggadah-for-pesach-version-8.html)

I'll second this recommendation. It's our favorite and the one we are using this year.

Thanks for the recommendations!

I decided to go with the bare bones service from A Night of Questions, the alternative Passover Story from the same, and commentary from Dan Handler from New American Hagaddah. It hits all the right notes for us - contrast to first night, light, yet still thoughtful.
