"This telling of the life of the Haggadah, probably the most beloved of books that Jews own, chronicles its recalibrations over time. It moves from its early sources in the Bible and rabbinic literature; to the years it was a handwritten manuscript; to its life as an illuminated book in the middle ages; to its emergence as mass-produced printed book and later, as an artist's book; to its iterations in the twentieth century in America and Israel, including those using emerging technologies of our day. It is the story of a liturgical text came about to fulfill a biblical injunction to fathers to tell the story of the Exodus from Egypt to their children (literally, to their sons): "And you shall tell your son on that day, 'It is because of what the Lord did for me when I went free from Egypt'" (Exodus 13:8). Despite significant flaws in the text that have occasioned thousands of revisions, it remains well and alive because it allows its users to transmit the story of Exodus as if it happened to them. With a Haggadah in hand at a Passover seder meal, the text kindles the memory of belonging to a people who knew slavery and then liberation and enlivens empathy. An engagement with the Haggadah, inevitable leaves one feeling responsible for helping others to achieve their own liberation".

The Journey Continues: The Mayan Passover Haggadah, now in its third edition ( 2006), is the product of Mayan, The Jewish Womens Project of The JCC in Manhattan located at 334 Amsterdam Avenue and 76th Street in New York (www.mayan.org). In 1994 Mayan created the first edition of this Haggadah and held its first womens seder creating a new ritual for women and a place of equality at the seder table: reclamation of an essential piece of the past while simultaneously asserting a stake in the future.Mayan, a Hebrew noun meaning source, well, fountain, spring (the traditional gathering place of women), envisions a Jewish community fully inclusive of women and girls. Committed to making this vision a reality, Mayan serves as a catalyst for change and a resource for changemakers in the Jewish community. Founded in 1993, Mayan has enriched the landscape for Jewish women through its womens communal Seders and original haggadah, and its pioneering work in the fields of ritual, education and leadership. Now in its second decade, Mayan is focusing on the needs of Jewish girls through its initiative Koach Banot: Girl Power.The elegantly simple design of The Journey Continues: The Mayan Passover Haggadah, edited by educator, writer, and activist Tamara Cohen, belies its many riches. Filled with stunning photographs, this inclusive Haggadah is spiritually and intellectually challenging and fully engaged in societal struggles for justice and meaning. Complete text is offered in both traditional (masculine) and grammatically feminine Hebrew, as are full English translations and transliterations, and meticulous ritual direction offering concise instructions for planning and leading a Seder, the ritual meal. What makes this Haggadah strikingly different from all others is its insistence on building a bridge between our hopes for a better world and leading us to action. Do Something! suggestions generously appear throughout the pages of the Haggadah and provide concrete steps individuals can take, and links these suggestions with contact information for advocacy programs and institutions engaged in the work of tikkun olam, repairing the world.The Journey Continues appendix of historical figures, women teachers, leaders and activists--all of whom who have worked to free others--encourages us to offer our own personal dedications, and to continue in the tradition of working for liberation of all peoples. Finally, the Haggadah includes many songs written by contemporary composer, Debbie Friedman. Singing the songs in this Haggadah will transform your Seder experience and help participants connect with the text in a new way. Designed for home and communal settings, The Journey Continues can be used comfortably in gatherings of women and men, in multi-generational groups of family and friends, and in circles of women and girls.
