Houston doctor creates new "Express Haggadah" to aid with virtual Seder

Description

As the COVID-19 pandemic forced communities to change how they celebrated religious holidays, Dr. Ron Moses sought to fill a need in his community. As the rabbi of his church planned to host Seder service over Zoom, they realized they would need a Haggadah that would fit with the transition to a socially-distanced, virtual meeting place. The "Express Haggadah" would fit on a single sheet, keep family members engaged, work for those leading Seder for the first times, and still be able to be a beautiful family heirloom. Dr. Moses and his son distributed the "Express Haggadah" to members of their community themselves.
