Always seeking innovative new ways to engage Jewish families, especially at one of the most important holidays of the year, PJ Library brings the age old Passover story and their family-friendly Haggadah to life through a partnership with Novel Effect, the only app which combines children’s books with powerful speech recognition. Families need only to download the Novel Effect app, and as they read along, seder guests will be treated to a synchronized soundscape to IN EVERY GENERATION: A PJ LIBRARY FAMILY HAGGADAH, including authentic music, sound effects, and even pronunciation of Hebrew words that help kids stay engaged and excited throughout the meal.
