Why is this Haggadah different from all other Haggadahs?
Maybe because the story of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt is getting a Hollywood twist. This Passover will behold revelations as awesome as the very parting of the Red Sea.
And we’re plotzing.
With the commandment for the Jewish people to re-experience the story of Exodus during the Passover seder — desert wandering and all — why not spice it up with some well-timed Borscht Belt jokes with the irrepressible sitcom character Miriam “Midge” Maisel? She’s the perfect 1958 Upper West Side housewife and mother of two — turned stand-up comic divorcée — in Amazon Prime’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”

The Maisel version will be available for free, while supplies last, with a purchase of select Maxwell House products on Amazon.
The “Maisel” Haggadah comes tricked-out with wine stains that reflect an hours-long Seder — and after the requisite four glasses of wine, red wine spills come with the territory.
It’s topped off with a recipe for Midge’s brisket.
Even Emmy-winner Alex Borstein, who plays Midge’s agent on the show, kvelled on Instagram, “I’m hearing there exist Maisel Passover Haggadot!! Where the hell are mine?!?! I got a room full a Jews coming on 4/20, gimme gimme!!”
