New York Times bestselling authors and journalists Cokie
and Steve Roberts share their Passover traditions in this
engaging version of the Haggadah for couples and families of
mixed faiths.

When they met more than forty years ago, Cokie and Steve
Roberts found common ground in their shared values, despite
their different religious beliefs. Choosing to honor both of
their faiths and traditions, they began hosting a Passover
Seder that has evolved from a small family gathering to a
veritable event celebrated with loved ones from all walks of
life.

Based on the time-honored Haggadah—the text read throughout
the evening that gives order to the ritual meal—Our Haggadah
is a practical guide for interfaith families, whether
they're celebrating their very first Passover or starting a
new tradition. Originally composed on a typewriter and
stapled together, Our Haggadah has been the Roberts family's
handbook for each Seder and comes from years of adapting and
expanding their Seders to welcome all who wish to take part
in the celebration. From finding a Seder plate to preparing
traditional and nontraditional foods, from the customary
prayers to new ways for guests to participate, Cokie and
Steve share their special approach to the holiday and the
lessons they've learned over the years as an interfaith couple.
