Vivienne (and anyone else who's interested) -

I am the victim of my own poor planning, and so am still feverishly
working on the Haggadah.  I expect to have it done in time for the Seder,
but only just barely.  And this year it'll be just the bare bones of what
I finally intend to do.

In the meantime I can certainly echo Sharon Stade's recommendation of
Tikkun's Haggadah supplement, and in general can urge anyone who's hosting
or attending a Seder this year to move beyond the by-the-numbers order of
the Seder, and inject some thoughtful discussion of the state of the world
and what freedom really means.

For Matt Gushee, the simplest answer is to read my article at
http://monkeyfist.com/articles/749.  To summarize, I got sick of the usual
blind pro-Israel Passover Haggadah, and resolved to write my own with a
more progressive stance.
