“A blend of the rituals and storytelling of the Pesach seder merged with an original zombie narrative that echoes the tale of the Jews in Egypt and their dramatic ascent to the Holy Land. The book is worth a read for the hilariously on-point seder instructions alone.” Rachel Kohn, Kol HaBirah (click here for the full article)
“In an alternative universe of alternative facts, the story of Passover was not the exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt, but that of the zombies.” Daniel Schere, Washington Jewish Week/Jewish Exponent/Jewish Advocate (click here for the full article)
“With basic pen and ink illustrations on a red background, Litwack brings the zombie characters to unlife. With mouths agape and limbs askew, they search the pages for brains.” Lauren Landau, DCist (click here for the full article)
Stay tuned for a followup Q&A session with Kol HaBirah this week!

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGHHH!” Shlomo Markovovitz, Undead
“This surreal journey through time will enthrall and delight readers who are looking for new, historically irresponsible lenses with which to experience the stories in the Haggadah. In this case, that lens is a dystopian apocalypse that is comprised of flesh-eating zombies. Anyone who is a fan of Colson Whitehead’s Zone One or Isaiah chapters 56-66 will want to peruse this intriguing new document, and purchase an extra copy to send to their nephew who is currently working out of his parents’ basement dressed in full cosplay.” Dr. Malka Z (for Zombie) Simkovich, Doctorate in Philosophy, Second Temple Judaism – Harvests brains for her own purposes
“Mr. Simkovich creatively remastered the haggadah to create a new tradition for the zombies. I am sure that Zombies everywhere will see this as the essential reading material to use as they dine on human brains at their seders. Humans (if they have any brains left) will also greatly enjoy reading this humorous text.” ELi Aroesty, Human Brain Expert
“Hebrew for zombie is זומבי. The numerical value (gematria) of this wordis 65, the age of retirement. Instead of retiring, a zombie continues to feed on brains – Is that zombie freedom? Do they serve an entity? If so, who do they serve?Is there any difference? I look to this Haggadah to figure it out.” Rabbi Moshe Simkovich – A brain that grows on a diet of holy texts, Diet Coke & Grapefruit Juice
“The world needed a zombie perspective on Yetziat Mizraim, and The Zombie Haggadah delivers: a hilarious, fresh voice that seamlessly melds your father’s love of biblical minutae with your son’s love of the undead. The question isn’t whether you should buy this haggadah. The question is why you haven’t already.” Anonymous, High-Ranking Official – WARNING: Do not approach this anonymous, high-ranking official, for common brains are drawn to his giant brain’s gravitational pull and orbit around his brain until manually removed
