Description
Haggadah for the Liberated Lamb: bilingual, illustrated, 140 pages
"A vegetarian haggadah that celebrates compassion for all creatures."
This Haggadah is a saga about creation and the emergence of the Jews. Much of the text is traditional, except for passages that celebrate the covenantal relationship the animal enoyed in the Bible. Included in prayers and blessings in Torah, we also include the animal in a ritual remembrance. Vegetarianism is a pledge to take creaturely life seriously. Meat is never included in the description of diet in the Bible, which is confined to agriculural products, whose constantly recurring expression is "grain and wine and oil."(Deut. 11:14) or the seven agricultural products enumerated in Deut 8:8. The blessing Isaiah bestows on the virtuous is "You shall eat the good things of the earth." Among the visions in Isaiah is the need for reconcilation between the natural and the historical human. Vegetarianism is a step towards that reconcilation.
