Description
As educators authors Pearl and Maxie were inspired to create a vibrantly illustrated kid’s companion Haggadah called Hug-It-Out. It is a love letter to our children who sit at the Passover table and learn about Judaism from us with great curiosity and awe.
The Haggadah Collective matches every page of Hug-It-Out. Kids and adults are literally on the same page from getting your table ready, reciting all of the traditional prayers and singing their favorite Passover songs.
This unique approach combined with the dynamic and fun-filled illustrations, allows for a seamless Seder for the entire family.
This new edition includes a dedicated reflection on October 7, acknowledging grief, resilience, and the need for collective healing. It is titled “THE MATZAH OF ANGUISH, HOPE AND HEALING”, offering a sensitive and meaningful way to hold space for this profound moment in our shared history.

The Haggadah Collective began at Pearl Richman's own seder table in Toronto. For years her Haggadah overflowed with sticky notes and photocopied readings, and after the 2017 seder her mother, Lil Brown, suggested she gather all those additions into one book. Pearl, an educator and interior stylist, did just that with her daughter Maxie, and The Haggadah Collective was published in 2019.
The pair describe themselves as "by no means Jewish scholars," and the book keeps the traditional order of the seder while adding readings that reflect their values of diversity, equality and acceptance: Miriam's Cup, the orange on the seder plate, a Fifth Child for the children lost in the Holocaust, and gender-neutral text. Prayers appear in English, Hebrew and transliteration, with songs and Passover recipes included.
Pearl, a longtime teacher, and Maxie, who studied Child Study and Education at the University of Toronto, followed it with Hug-It-Out, a brightly illustrated companion Haggadah for kids. Pearl also designs pieces for the Passover and Shabbat table, from matzah holders to embroidered covers, which she calls her way of practicing hiddur mitzvah, beautifying the commandments.
