Jewish Group Releases Cannabis-Themed Passover Seder Haggadah

With the movement to repeal marijuana prohibition spreading across the United States and the Jewish holiday of Passover fast approaching, a husband-and-wife team in Oregon have produced a cannabis-themed Haggadah [ha-GAH-dah] to help see this old tradition in a new light.

The couple, Roy and Claire Kaufmann, are urging Jews all over the world to download the custom Haggadah and host an adults-only Cannabis Seder to explore the Jewish spiritual connection to the plant, and the need for Jewish engagement in ending the horrific War on Drugs and its resulting culture of mass incarceration.

“We hosted the inaugural Cannabis Seder last year here in Portland,” said Claire Kaufmann, co-founder of the couple’s nonprofit, Le’Or (Hebrew for, “To Light!”). “The Seder was such a fun, powerful and uplifting experience for all of us there that we wanted to share it with our community worldwide.”

The Haggadah’s creators hope people will download the Haggadah...
