Kisharon Langdon launches accessible Haggadah to make Pesach more inclusive

Kisharon Langdon has launched its first-ever accessible Haggadah, designed to support people with learning disabilities or autism to meaningfully participate in the Pesach Seder.

It was co-created with people supported by the charity, who actively helped to shape the resource alongside staff.

They took part in a photo-shoot at one of Kisharon Langdon’s supported living homes to re-enact key stages of the Seder, with the aim that readers will connect more personally with Passover when they recognise familiar faces in their Haggadah.

Head of Jewish living and community, Rachel Ucko, said: “This accessible version not only enhances their engagement with the Seder, but also enables staff who may be less familiar with the traditions to confidently assist in running the service.”

Jack, supported by Kisharon Langdon and who used the Haggadah during a mock seder, said: “The Haggadah is easy to read. I like the pictures of people I know.”

The charity hopes to develop a refined edition of the text in time for next Pesach, with plans to share it more widely across the Jewish community, making the festival accessible and inclusive to all.
