Did you know the Passover Seder is the most observed Jewish ritual according to the Council of Jewish Federation’s 1990 Jewish Population Study? To help you get the most from your seder this year, we searched the internet for sites that are "unlike all other sites". Here they are:
www.passover.net
   The fourth cup liquidizing… what does that mean? Find out for yourself by clicking into the For Kids section of Passover.net then clicking Games and then the Fourth Cup Liquidizing. Both silly and mesmerizing the fourth cup is but one fun complement to the fantastic mix of layout, art, and multimedia available when you peruse www.passover.net.  

    You’ll find: Passover how-to and study, a straight and accurate translation of the Haggadah in four sections, kids’ games,recipes, music, videos,and more, all done in a classy and charming visual setting.  

www.holidays.net/passover

    This site includes a telling of the Passover story, an explanation of what a Seder is, as well as links to Passover books, music, and video resources. In addition, in holidays.net’s crafts and cooking section (you’ll need to back out to the home page) they not only give you recipes for the traditional Passover fare, they also have great non-traditional recipes. In case you don’t find the recipe you’re looking for online they also provide direct links to Passover cookbooks at amazon.com.  

    Holidays.net’s creators are interested in finding ways to collaborate with educators to bring celebrating and learning about holidays alive in the classroom. The website lists a total of seven Jewish holidays in their Holiday Listings and Descriptions section: Purim, Passover, Shavuot, The High Holy Days,Sukkot,and Chanukah. Go surf and see for yourself.

www.torahtots.com/holidays/
pesach/pesach.htm

     Complete with Dayenu playing in the background as you navigate, this is a site where you can find coloring pages and games to use as activities for kids of all ages at your Seder or throughout the days of the Pesach.  
    Torahtots also has a full telling of the Passover story and a basic introduction of the Seder itself. Torahtots is a traditional leaning site and makes note that the laws of Passover are complex and that individuals should consult a competent authority with questions. This is a cute site with fun take-home goodies.

Uncle_Eli/Eli.html

      Uncle Eli’s Haggadah is a witty and funny rhyming Haggaddah for children of all ages. Described by many as having a Dr. Seuss-like quality, the light and genuine tone of the Haggadah makes it fun to read to your kids as a warm-up to the Seder or even as a digression in the Seder itself for those who like to add extras to their evening.  
    At this website you can find the whole prose version of Uncle Eli’s Special-For-Kids Most Fun Ever Under-The-Table Passover Haggadah or you can link directly to amazon.com and order the illustrated book online.  
    If you have problems accessing this site, go to www.acs. ucalgary.ca and then do a search on Uncle Eli and go to the author’s home page. A bit of a hassle, but this search is worth it.

www.jewish.com/passover  

     As always, Jewish.com is a wonderful source for anything Jewish you might be seeking. Their Passover section is no exception. There they have a wide variety of information to help you plan for your Seder and the entire holiday, including a glossary of terms, recipes, a section on activities and traditions surrounding the holiday, and downloadable haggadot — the list is endless.  
    Jewish.com also has a Passover store with everything from Haggadot to Seder plates, books for children, music, and more.This site is definitely worth visiting.
