On All Other Nights is a joyful middle-grade anthology centered around Passover—from an exciting array of bestselling and award-winning Jewish creators!
Welcome to Passover, a Jewish holiday that has been celebrated for thousands of years. The heart of Passover is the seder—a meal full of rituals, special foods, and songs—where we gather together to retell the story of the Exodus, when the Jewish people achieved freedom from Egypt.
And yet this story is about more than the ancient past. The seder's themes of freedom, joy, tradition, and more, are timeless and universal, for all.
In this unprecedented collection of short stories, fourteen bestselling and award-winning authors each reimagine a different step of the seder for today's young listeners. Through historical and contemporary fiction, verse and prose, fiction and nonfiction, these gifted writers from different Jewish traditions and backgrounds gather around the seder table and invite everyone to join them.

      Josh Bloomberg and Sharon Freedman narrate this collection of stories exploring the celebration of the Jewish holiday of Passover. Each chapter describes a ritual of the traditional Passover meal, called the Seder. Each chapter ends with a set of questions about how young people can connect these rituals to their own lives. Bloomberg and Freedman are enthusiastic narrators of both the audio's framing device and the individual stories. They deliver appropriate accents and create personalities for characters who range from a contemporary teen who is struggling with grief for a beloved grandparent to a confused child who is fleeing Egypt with Moses. The last chapter includes recipes for several Passover treats. N.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine
