6 David Silberman has authored a Haggadah called The Mosaic Haggadah: Themes of the Passover Haggadah. This Haggadah meets the need for a way to extract a singular and meaningful message from the seder experience. The Mosaic Haggadah, presents an innovative layout designed to inform and inspire anyone seeking a more engaging, motivating, participatory discussion that they will continue to contemplate after the seder has come to an end An attractive color-coding system categorizes the wide variety of complementary writings and quotes collected by the author. The writings speak about each of six different themes to a contemporary audience of all ages, guiding readers through the mosaic of texts as they move through the Haggadah. Readers can focus on a different theme each year, making the messages clear and encouraging a deeper, more thought-provoking discussion, one theme at a time. Please see our web site at to order 6
