The Rationalist Haggadot Collection
This is an archive of the Rationalist Haggadot Collection, to ensure the Google Docs linked therein don't go extinct.
- The Original Rationalist Seder by Zvi Mowshowitz (2014). Heavier on rationalist-ingroupy stuff
- 2016 Sarah Constantin / Andrew Rettek edition (link lost) - It says 2017 but it’s identical to the 2016 one; I presume this is because of version control issues.
- Maia Werbos / Roger Curley edition 2017. Mostly the Sarah/Andrew 2016 one, with various small edits and several larger ones. Notably:
removing the “Where Did We Come From” section and replacing it with a from-scratch “In Every Generation” section
some disclaimers at the beginning for non-rationalist attendees
Special formatting to make it print nicely as a booklet
- Boston 2017 / New York 2016 (v2.1, as linked in the Rational Ritual FB group, used without modifications)
Much more humorous, and includes some changes to the seder plate.
Stories section is longer and encourages additional stories to be told.
Includes the original story of Passover (as well as commentary on it).
- New York 2017 (v2.2, basically 2.1 plus two new stories)
- New York 2018 (“very minor set of edits on v2.2. Drops the cell phone and usb memory stick from the seder plate, the Story about Seders, and Who Knows One -- plus various wording fixes.”)
- Maiger 2019 (mostly same as 2017, some small edits for factual changes; Oppression section replaced by a section from one of the NYC Haggadot)
- Socially Distanced Haggadah, 2020 (“possibly by Jim Babcock”)
- DC/MD 2023 -- based on Maiger 2019 but with additions for the seder plate and a few other edits.
