Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I get my Haggadah?

A: We send you a PDF and you print it


Q: What computer equipment will I need to do this all?

A: You will need a computer with an internet connection, a modern internet browser and an attached printer for printing (a colour printer is best)


Q: Is the whole text of the Haggadah included?

A: The whole text of the Haggadah is included in Hebrew except two of the piyutim at the very end (the two Uv'cheins). The entire Haggadah is translated into our very colloquial translation except for Hallel.


Q: What is the Nusach of the Haggadah?

A: It is a standard Ashkenazi Nusach.


Q: What is the approach of the Haggadah and the translation?

A: This Haggadah was created as a tool for your child in Grades 4-7 so that s/he can play a more central role on the night – and thus feel included in the Seder, as opposed to being peripheral to it. It contains all the textual elements of a traditional Ashkenazi Haggadah, but with an emphasis on your child helping create not only the Haggadah in look, feel and some content, but also in playing more of a leading role on the night (for this reason, many of the comments are directed at your child – suggestions for them to do or say things at certain points.) Moreover, activities such as inserting your family photos and your child’s photos includes your child and your family profoundly in an adult ritual from which children often feel excluded – so please assist them in maximising their stamp on this Haggadah and on the night. We encourage you to let your child play this part with you in a dance of generations. This Haggadah contains some simple, engaging games for everyone to play together (not too many) and ideas for kids to share with others. The aim of this Haggadah is not to be an exhaustive source of Halachah (Jewish Law) pertaining to the Haggadah – we suggest that you add this into the flow where you feel it necessary. The translation is very colloquial and whilst attempting to maintain an appropriate level of fidelity to the ideas of the Haggadah, we seek to phrase this in a way which is natural to 21st century English-speaking kids.

Q: Why is it taking so long to upload my images?

A: The upload time for your images varies greatly and is mostly dependent on your Internet Service Providers (ISP) upload speeds. Remember many ISP's have a much slower upload speed than download speed. Our image servers’ support uploads up to 100/mb/sec which in most cases is more than 500 times the speed of an internet connection to guarantee the fastest uploads to all users.

Once your design has been autofilled - you can review it and make changes to certain images by dragging and dropping a different image in its place if required.


Q: I keep getting a resolution warning?

A: The website is simply alerting you to the fact that your image is low resolution and may result in a poorer print quality. You can still order the print but we always recommend customers use higher resolution images. The size the image needs to be depends on the size of the print.
