"Three comic writer have some fun with Passover. Seders may never be the same." -- USA Today "A full-fledged comic assault on Passover... Finally, someone has created a full Haggadah that is not only fun to read, but isn't covered in wine stains... For This We Left Egypt? runs riot with the Haggadah and takes readers from the sophomoric to the sublimely funny." --The Forward "Three well-known humorists have written a Haggadah for an overlooked crowd: the wiseguys, cutups, and punsters who frankly have a hardtime taking the whole thing seriously." -- Jewish Telegraph Agency "[Barry, Zweibel, and Mansbach] have joined forces to come up with the perfect humoristic antidote to this Passover ritual... [ For This We Left Egypt? ] is a loudly humorous, acerbic parody of the haggadah, as it dissects every aspect of the Passover holiday... All in all, a new Passover tradition can be established with For This We Left Egypt? So instead of singing some traditional holiday songs before or after the festive meal, families can recite passages from this book and get a full comic Passover experience. Then again, they can use this book as a haggadah substitute." -- Montreal Times "A must-have for those who collect haggadot or for anyone who loves a laugh. If you're looking to lighten up your seder, you might read a page or two from it. Just be careful, though: people might refuse to turn back to the traditional text." -- The Reporter "[ For This We Left Egypt? ] brings a fair measure of levity to a holiday when leavening is banned.

Synopsis
The book you hold before you is no ordinary Haggadah. If you've ever suffered through a Seder, you're well aware of the fact that the entire evening can last as long as the exodus from Egypt itself. There are countless stories, dozens of blessings, and far too many handwashings while the meal turns cold. Now prepare to be entertained by another version of the book that's responsible for this interminable tradition. With this hilarious parody Haggadah from the comedic minds of Dave Barry, Alan Zweibel, and Adam Mansbach, good Jews everywhere will no longer have to sit (and sleep) through a lengthy and boring Seder. In For This We Left Egypt?, the authors will be take you through every step of the Seder, from getting rid of all the chametz in your home by setting it on fire with a kosher blowtorch to a retelling of the Passover story starring Pharaoh Schmuck and a burning bush that sounds kind of like Morgan Freeman, set against the backdrop of the Promised Land--which turned out not to be a land of milk and honey but rather one of rocks and venomous scorpions the size of Yorkshire terriers. You then eat a celebratory brisket and wrap up the whole evening by taking at least forty-five minutes to say good-bye to everyone. So gather all the Jews in your life (even the few who don't appear to be long-suffering) and settle in for a fun way to pass the time while waiting for Elijah to show up.
