    Haggada or Haggadah is a Jewish religious text that outlines the order of the Passover Seder. This storytelling book includes liturgical instructions, biblical passages, prayers, hymn and narratives relating the story of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt, which fulfill the scriptural commandment for each Jew to "tell your son" about the Jewish liberation from slavery on the night of Passover. Its purpose is to guide the evening's meal and rituals, and facilitate the retelling of the story of Exodus during the meal. It is traditionally read in Jewish households on the first night, and in some households on the second night, of Passover.
