The Journey Continues: The Ma'yan Passover Haggadah
In the words of Arnold Eisen, Chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary, "The Journey Continues is one of the very finest feminist haggadot produced in America over the past two decades, immensely satisfying to heart, soul and mind. The text's grounding in Jewish tradition is firm, its borrowing from recent feminist writings insightful, its innovations both creative and poetic. Its availability to a wider audience - and so to seders throughout the country - is cause for additional celebration." Available in a beautiful and colorful updated edition, this Passover haggadah will find a welcome place at your seder table. Originally published in 2000, now available in a revised and updated third edition (2006). $15.00 + shipping. Discounts for bulk orders.
Ushpizot Poster
This beautiful, full color, 27" x 32" laminated poster was created by artist Ellen Alt to hang in the sukkah during the holiday of Sukkot. According to Jewish mystical tradition, we invite seven biblical patriarchs to share our sukkah through the ritual of Ushpizin - welcoming guests. Ma'yan's inspiring Ushpizot poster expands this practice, inviting seven extraordinary biblical women prophets into the community. A perfect addition to your sukkah or a gift to bring to someone else's. $10 + shipping.
