Description
Elie Wiesel has said that after the Holocaust it was necessary to create new symbols and new rituals to help us cope, understand and remember.
Today, there is a rising worldwide movement among Jewish, Christian, interfaith and secular groups to commemorate Yom Hashoah-Holocaust Remembrance Day. The rituals are in transition, but there is a growing audience searching for ways to mark the day. Echoing the Passover Seder, The Third Seder: A Haggadah for Yom Hashoah draws on contemporary and traditional texts and music to create a moving and uplifting guide for individuals, families, schools and community groups.
The book includes a cd, Songs for Yom Hashoah, featuring songs in English, Hebrew and Yiddish sung by various artists. The cd provides a musical guide to the lyrics of the songs included in The Third Seder.
