Maxwell House Haggadah

The Maxwell House Haggadah has been used as a marketing tool and ritual object since its introduction to American-Jewish homes in 1932. With over 50 million copies in print, it may be the best known and most popular Haggadah in the English speaking world, placed on Passover tables from the most humble tenements of long ago to the White House Seder.

Join Rabbi Jeffrey Saks (who has used the same wine-stained copy since elementary school) as we discover what this Haggadah says about the Seder, American Jewry, and if it is indeed good to the last drop.
