For the second year, area residents can recount the story of Exodus during Passover, which begins the evening of Saturday, April 19, with a simple, easy-to-use and free Haggadah that can be downloaded from the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County's Web site, www.JewishPalmBeach.org.

The 19-page Haggadah provides information on a Passover seder, including how to prepare a traditional seder table, all of the Hebrew prayers with English transliterations and Web site resources from the major streams of Judaism. The Haggadah is available as a pdf file that requires Adobe's Acrobat Reader.

The downloadable Haggadah is made available to Federation by United Jewish Communities (UJC), which represents and serves 155 Jewish federations and 400 independent Jewish communities across North America. UJC also developed the Web site template used by dozens of Jewish federations, including the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County.
