Always seeking innovative new ways to engage Jewish families, especially at one of the most important holidays of the year,  PJ Library brings the age old Passover story and their family-friendly Haggadah to life through a partnership with Novel Effect, the only app which combines children’s books with powerful speech recognition. Families need only to download the Novel Effect app, and as they read along, seder guests will be treated to a synchronized soundscape to IN EVERY GENERATION: A PJ LIBRARY FAMILY HAGGADAH, including authentic music, sound effects, and even pronunciation of Hebrew words that help kids stay engaged and excited throughout the meal.

One of the leading sources for family-friendly Haggadahs across the United States and beyond, PJ Library has shipped nearly 800,000 Haggadahs to more than 100,000 subscriber families over the past five years.  And this year, they’ll once again offer anyone celebrating Passover their beautifully-illustrated IN EVERY GENERATION: A PJ LIBRARY FAMILY HAGGADAH. While subscribers have already received printed copies, it’s also available to download for free in five languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and French. With the new Novel Effect partnership which utilizes technology to enhance traditional Jewish stories, PJ Library looks to keep ancient traditions alive and relevant for a new generation.

Also available this Passover holiday for the first time are large print, braille, and audio versions of the Haggadah prepared by the Jewish Braille Institute, to ensure accessibility for anyone who is visually impaired, blind or reading disabled. Aside from the traditional prayers and readings, this downloadable guide to the Passover seder offers up specially curated interactive videos and explanations that help make the holiday a fun, engaging and family-friendly experience.

PJ Library has also refreshed their Passover hub, packed full with everything from music, stories, crafts and recipes to games, history, and printables.
