Forget being cast out of Egypt; this year Jews all over Brooklyn can sympathize with the families being evicted from the Atlantic Yards and have a topical Seder with this Atlantic Yards themed haggadah!

The youngest at the table can ask such questions as, "Why is it that in all other projects, the developer dips only into his own budget, but in the Atlantic Yards project the developer dips twice—$100 million from the state's budget and $100 million from the city's budget?"

Then once the kids find the afikoman, everyone can sing "Had Bruce Ratner only given us the Atlantic Center Mall— Dayeinu! It would have been enough!" Download the whole book here [PDF] to add to your Seder tonight. [Via No Land Grab]
