Beautiful. The Promise of the Land will reopen the wonder of Passover, adding a deep layer of connection to the planet making the old rituals new for the 21st century.
—Bill McKibben, Co-founder of 350.org, author of Falter: Has the Human Game begun to Play Itself Out?

For the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, Rabbi Bernstein has created a new haggadah that connects the Passover story to the understanding that our freedom and our lives are dependent upon the planet's well-being. "The Promise of the Land" builds a seamless connection between the Seder as we know it and the Seder as a window into the ecology of our lives.

ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE PROMISE OF THE LAND


“A must for every Jewish household. The Promise of the Land takes us on a journey from the narrowness of Egypt to the spaciousness of Gaia, teaching us the true meaning of freedom.”
─ Rabbi Rami Shapiro, Author, Surrendered─The Sacred Art

“Original and fascinating. . . A knowledgeable and heartfelt piece of work. Includes traditional liturgy with beautiful translations and wide-ranging commentary.”
─ Rabbi Jill Hammer, Author, Jewish Book of Days, A Companion for all Seasons


Unique, insightful, mind-liberating!
—Rabbi Arthur Waskow, Author of the original Freedom Seder (1969), Founder and Director, The Shalom Center


“Glorious, earthy, provocative, profound, moving and relevant.”
─ Yoni Stadlin, Founding Director, Eden Village Camp

“One of the most beautiful haggadot I have ever seen - both in words and illustrations. Weaves a deep ecological consciousness back into this sacred ritual.”
─ Mary Evelyn Tucker, Yale Forum on Religion and Ecology

Ellen Bernstein has given the Jewish world a precious gift by reweaving the story of our peoples’ liberation from Egypt back into Judaism’s cosmic story of creation. This haggadah will engage and delight everyone: young and old, secular and religious, the knowledgeable and the new-comer.
—Rabbi David Ingber, Founder, Senior Rabbi, Romemu, NYC
