“The Exodus from Egypt Occurs in Every Human Being, in Every Era, in Every Year, and in Every Day.” – Rabbi Nachman

Passover is a time to focus on our collective story, but it can also be a time for us to explore our own. On Passover, we remember our freedom from the physical bondage of Egypt, but without acknowledging the mental bondage many of us are still trapped in we will never truly be free. That is why we built these resources, to help individuals utilize the themes and motifs of Passover traditions to examine their internal stories of slavery and experience an Exodus like no other.

Bring mental health to your Passover seder with our new “#QuietingTheSilence Haggadah,” a FULL 142-page Haggadah, including the complete text of the traditional Haggadah with a de-gendered translation, our Passover resources, original commentary and prompts on key aspects of the seder, and select stories of overcoming mental health challenges from our “#QuietingTheSilence: Personal Stories” book. You can purchase a physical copy and/or download the full Haggadah here. (Please note that shipping on hardcover typically takes around 2-3 weeks so order soon, while paperback typically takes around 3-4 days.)

Or, check out our shorter “Mental Health Seder Companion,” a shorter addition to your seder complete with our Passover resources and seder commentary. That can be purchased and/or downloaded here. (Please note that shipping typically takes 1 week.)

A synthesis of the Passover ritual and liturgy with the 12 steps of recovery.
Reciting the Passover story reminds us not only of a transcendent moment in the history of the Jews, but of transformative times of misery and suffering ‐ and emergence and deliverance ‐ in our own lives. Reflecting on those moments in light of the great themes and symbols of this festival provides a wonderful opportunity to achieve understanding and healing.
