This Haggadah is for the waking up of beauty and greenery in the world. It's for everyone who lives somewhere where there is snow....snow....more snow....maybe a little rain thrown in, and then some more snow. Maybe this will bring in a little sunshine to the seemingly omnipresent sky of grey. A little warmth to the forty-or-below-degree temperatures. A little color to a bland landscape of white.

This Haggadah is for hope. Like the first bud unfurling its petals, we are waking up. Waking from sleep and winter, yes. But we also try to wake up from cynicism, from sadness, from despair.

This is a Haggadah of Hope.

This is a Haggadah of Spring.
