Traditionally, there are only four main questions asked at every Passover. Rabbi Cohen answers all the others that people may have had and a lot that most never thought of. From the Exodus to the celebration of Pesach in the days of the Temple to customs in Jewish communities in India and Yemen, Cohen explains the rationale behind many of the rituals. He also gives advice on how to clean the house of any trace of leavening and answers knotty questions like "May I still take medicine that contains leaven?" Sections for the participation of children remind one that this is a celebration intended to teach the next generation. Distributed in the US by ISBS
