With an estimated 7,000 editions of the Passover Haggadah to date, often the choice of which Haggadah to use Seder night is as intrinsic a part of the Passover tradition - and a source of good-natured debate - as the matzo and wine. Yet selecting the perfect Haggadah for one's needs, from slim paper-back editions to scholarly tomes occupying several volumes, can be a daunting experience.

"The reading of the Haggadah has always been an experiential activity," says Rabbi Yosef B. Friedman, director of Chabad's publishing arm, the Kehot Publication Society. "With that in mind, we offer a series of Haggados that will suit the needs of everyone - from the Seder novice to the seasoned scholar."
