The Aliens Haggadah & The Aliens Chronicle (combined edition)
Written by Michael Kagan; Illustrated by Daphna Rosin; Conceived & Edited by Jonathan Lubell
This “two books in one” volume combines a fantasy tale of slavery to freedom from across the galaxy, which mirrors the Children of Israel’s history in Egypt, with a traditional and complete Haggadah text accompanied by selected English translation and transliteration.
The stunning illustrations and spellbinding story will keep children and teenagers engaged before, during and long after the seder, as they give a 21st century perspective on the Jewish people’s foundational experience.
Forced to leave their home planet after famine and environmental collapse, the Deveshniks find refuge on Planet Kemet, where they are initially welcomed, but later enslaved. Accompanied by extensive notes for teachers and parents, the book encourages readers to consider their attitude to others (the “aliens” among us) and our natural environment.
