In their first book together, the New York Times bestseller From This Day Forward, Cokie and Steve Roberts shared their personal story of matrimony, ruminating on the joys and challenges they faced because of their different faiths. Happily wed for 45 years, they have learned not only to respect and reconcile the religious traditions they once thought might divide them—she is Catholic, he is Jewish—but to embrace them. Steve's family had never held a Passover Seder until he married Cokie; it was their mutual interest in and discovery of each other's religious backgrounds that led the couple to begin celebrating the holiday. Now, they host an annual Passover Seder which has become a Washington tradition attended by more than 40 guests each year.
 

"Over the years, lots of other Jewish-Christian couples have talked to us and some have asked our advice," writes Steve. "We're careful to stress we have no formulas that work for everybody. But I do think we learned several things from that process, and one was inclusion. Every effort that makes people feel wanted or respected is worth doing." Focusing on Passover and the Haggadah—the text that is read at the Passover Seder—this warm, thoughtful guide offers suggestions to make the celebration welcoming to all religions. Filled with cherished recipes and illustrations, Our Haggadah combines personal memories and advice with the experiences of contemporary and historical couples seeking to find balance in their own interfaith marriages.
 

Part chronicle of their own marriage and family life, part social and historical examination of religion and marriage, part contemporary guide to celebrating Passover and other religious holidays, Our Haggadah is a wise, senstive, and moving take on the core values of togetherness, compromise, and love that unite us across all religions.
