The Emoji Haggadah Martin Bodek 9781602803466 Books Reviews

• This Haggadah will keep your entire family busy decoding, and engrossed in the Passover Haggadah without even realizing it. This is an incredible addition to your Passover Seder and will keep you and your family busy throughout the holiday and afterwards. I can’t wait to see what Martin comes up with next!
• An enormous amount.of work.
  Well done!!
  Everyone enjoyed trying to decipher [without much success]
  Great addition to our collection of Haggadot.
  Waiting for the Hebrew version.
• I thought the 20-30 year old "children" would like it, but it didn't make much of an impression. I liked the creativity and thought behind it, but couldn't even figure out the cover.
• If there was an award for most unique haggadah, that would certainly go to The Emoji Haggadah by Martin Bodek. An emoji is a graphic symbol that represents an idea or concept. From smiley faces to coats, animal and more, there are thousands of emojis in use.
  
  In his haggadah, Bodek uses emojis to replace the words. The job of the reader is to translate those emojis back into their native language. It’s a cute concept and an interesting approach to pique the interest of someone who may not be so attracted to a traditional haggadah. While this haggadah is likely best for the under-35 crowd, it could also be a great way for grandchildren to interact with their older, and often emoji-oblivious grandparents. For those involved in Jewish outreach, The Emoji Haggadah could be quite effective in creating a non-threatening approach to the Passover experience.
  
  One of the children mentioned in the Haggadah is the one who does not know how to ask a question. At the seder, try using The Emoji Haggadah and you may find out they do indeed know who to ask. It’s just a matter of finding the right approach to use, and for some, The Emoji Haggadah could be that approach.
• So much of the Passover Seder rituals are centered around keeping the kids engaged- keeping them asking questions, guessing, and playing games. This has allowed the tradition of the Exodus and formation of the Jewish people to be passed down continuously from generation to generation. Now, with this gorgeous Haggadah, that tradition can continue in true Millenial style!
  
  Children and adults alike will be thoroughly engaged and entranced as they try to decipher Bodek's clever graphical interpretations of the traditional Haggdah text. This book offers a great way to both follow along with the Passover story or just kill the time while your uncle is giving another long-winded explanation of an obscure episode during the Maggid portion of the Seder (while your stomach is rumbling like crazy because you've had nothing to eat besides a piece of boiled potato and a second piece of boiled potato that you snuck even though your dad said it was more than the permissible shiur. but I digress...)
  
  This book is beautiful- buy it and never be bored at the Seder again!
• I have the first edition of this Haggadah which was great but when I saw this new ehanced version I jumped for joy!!!
  All the greatness of the first one but with thoughtful and clever upgrades like including a regular haggadah and a hint section for when you get stuck.
  Kudos to the author for his amazing work and detail. Looking forward to everything else he will write in the future. Keep an eye on this guy!
• The Emoji Haggadah is an excellent addition to this year's seder table. Bodek has translated the entire Haggadah into Emojis with a How To Read emojis to help those that are not familiar with them, To my knowledge there is not another book like this on the market. This book is a great table conversation for young and old; for those that love to solve puzzles or those that want something different this year. I can imagine family members having contests with each other to see who can decode the emojis first. I highly recommend this Haggadah.
• We bought this so we could try and puzzle out all of what the emojis mean on Pesach. We've already started and we are enjoying it a lot!
