Many thanks for the beautiful Haggadah “Kol Menachem” which you so kindly sent me. From all the Haggados that I have set my eyes upon I have seen never seen something like this. In terms of content, it includes a fabulous selection from the great Jewish sages, and each reader will find something of personal relevance. Everyone who sees it will be impressed. The centerpiece contains the commentary and thoughts of the Ga’on of our generation, Rabbi Menachem Mendel, the Rebbe of Lubavitch זצקללה"ה, whose influence has spread across the full spectrum of Jewish life, from the very closest of Jews to the most distant, “to call them all in the name of G-d, to serve Him in unity.”

It is not only the soul of this Haggadah that is exceptional, that is to say, the Torah illumination within it, but also its external appearance. The luxurious binding, the clear, beautiful typography, draw and rouse the reader, “Arise, read me, and you will find satisfaction.”

It is a great privilege for you to have published this Haggadah for the Jewish people to enjoy and delight in, and to bring nachas to the Rebbe זצקללה”ה, and, most importantly, to the Creator, blessed be His Name. May you likewise merit to publish more sefarim, and to illuminate the world with Torah and Chassidus…

The new Haggadah, with comments by Rabbi Chaim Miller, is an excellent addition to the various Haggadot that have brought a variety of valuable insights into the traditional text.

The current edition specializes in the insights of the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Many have heard of the late Rebbe and his proactive outreach to the entire Jewish community, but unfortunately not enough have taken advantage of the publication of his various commentaries and insights to sharpen their own minds and expand their own hearts. This Haggadah is an especially good introduction to the treasury of his creativity. The citations… enhance the age-old narrative of slavery and freedom, oppression and joy — a gateway to the world of Hasidism, especially on the tradition of Lubavitch.
