Synopsis

Another Passover? Another Seder?  The Lerner kids, Ariel and Benjamin, think it's the most boring holiday ever...  that’s until their "Bubbe" finds a magical, musical way to tell them the story that every Jew around the world tells at their Passover table and has for thousands of years.  With their grandmother's enchanting storytelling, the children travel back in time to ancient Egypt and experience first-hand the liberation of the Hebrews from slavery.  As they embody Moses and his brave sister, Miriam, Benjamin confronts the Pharaoh to “let my people go” and Ariel leads them through the parting of the Red Sea.  The Lerner kids (and listeners and readers alike) will forever remember the story of Passover and the meaning behind its holiday traditions

~ Ellie Aronowitz, Past President, Jewish Communal Service Association of North America

"Matzah & Miracles" is a creative and multi-faceted resource to involve children in joyfully learning and sharing the Passover story. The storybook, catchy songs, and activities, are a welcome contribution for a school or family Seder. With enough material to use each year, "Matzah & Miracles" has the potential to become a fixture at any Seder.
~ Mason Voit, Director of Education and Jewish Family Life

Delightful and fresh retelling of the ancient story!  ...a marvelous resource for both Christian and Jewish families where we can read, mark and inwardly digest our common history in a lively way.
~ The Rev'd Shane Scott-Hamblen (Episcopal priest)

Educates and entertains while telling an ancient tale in a modern format.  As Bubbe says, "It is not enough just to tell the story of Passover...each person must experience it."  "Matzah and Miracles" helps us fulfill this "mitzvah" by drawing us into the story and making us feel like we were in Egypt ... the songs in the musical will become part of every child's Passover repertoire.
~ Rabbi Ken Brickman
