The plain brown box

"I was a child in Brooklyn in the 1940's. One of my earliest Passover memories is of a plain brown box that sat on the Seder table. A guest had brought it as a gift. The box held slices of special matzahs that had been prepared under the strictest supervision of super religious Jews.

I couldn't understand why such a precious gift was in such a plain undecorated ugly brown box. The lesson was that these holy men had directed all their attention to the product that they had lovingly produced and didn't waste an extra penny on fancy packaging.

We hope that the Dry Bones Haggadahs, and the plain brown boxes they come in, will find a place in your heart and on your Seder table."

Happy Passover
