5 seder supplements to make your Passover relevant this year

JTA) — We get it: Most Jewish families don’t yearn to make their Passover seders longer.

But there’s an entire world of seder upgrades and supplements out there providing myriad creative ways to freshen up the age-old tale of the Jews’ liberation from slavery in Egypt and — perhaps more significantly — make it relevant to our complicated, modern world.

You don’t need to be a scholar. You don’t even need to be particularly resourceful or ambitious — all you need is Internet access. Dozens of Haggadah supplements put out by Jewish organizations in recent years have addressed a variety of present-day social justice issues such as civil rights, poverty, hunger and genocide.

Web sites like Haggadot.com, which houses a massive archive of Passover supplements, allow readers to print out inserts of all kinds, from new versions of the Four Questions to holiday-themed word searches for the easily bored. For those feeling motivated, you can quickly construct an entire customized Haggadah of your own.

Below we give your our top picks for supplements that will give your seder a social justice reboot.
