Michael L. Kagan is a teacher of holistic Judaism and an ordained "maggid," or sacred storyteller. He is the author of "God s Prayer" and "The King s Messenger: A Parable about Judaism.""
"[Michael L. Kagan] charges us not to remain chained to the text, but to enliven it with his (and eventually our own) commentary - to make ancient references more applicable. The Holistic Haggadah gives Jews the opportunity to turn their Pessah Seder into something more than an excuse to eat too much and stay up too late." --Rena Rosenblum, Jerusalem Post Literary Quarterly " The Holistic Haggadah: How Will You Be Different This Passover Night? , with commentary by Michael Kagan, is a guide to the inner journey of Passover, with contemporary spiritual commentary geared to individuals of all denominations." --Sandee Brawarsky, The Jewish Week "Using the Exodus story as an allegory of an individual's spiritual slavery and redemption, Kagan advocates a holistic approach to Judaism that merges the worlds of action, emotion, intellect and spirit. [...] Kagan spiritualizes the various elements of Passover observance; burning the hametz (leavened bread), for example, symbolizes a willingness to let go of attachments and anything that puffs us up." -- Publishers Weekly
