The Story of the House of MaqSwel Haggadah: With Excerpts from the Torah, Talmud, Mishnah and Kabbalah in the Original Klingon by Aaron Brachfeld

The story of Passover has never been told like this. From the battle halls of Qo’noS to the coffee houses of Vulcan, Romulus, Bajor, Tellar and Ferenginar, the House of MaqSwel has carried Judaism to the stars - introducing the Qetlop, a weeklong Klingon Passover feast of honor, debate, and combat. Here, the Exodus is not just a story but a way of life for our modern day, a warrior’s saga of struggle, strategy, and triumph.

Boldly illustrated with the classic blue-ink line drawings of the original House of MaqSwel Haggadahs by battle hardened baristas, this book seamlessly weaves together excerpts from the Torah, Talmud, Mishnah, and Kabbalah (reinterpreted through the lens of Klingon Jewish tradition, of course). It captures the legendary customs of the Qetlop: a hunt for chametz with flamethrowers, the scapetarg, blades sharpened in Tzipporah’s honor, Afikomen battles, mikvahs of fire and ice, and fierce Talmudic duels over Moses’ tactics and the many Passover traditions of Earth. It is a tribute to all who wrestle with faith, fight for justice, and drink deeply of knowledge—preferably over a strong cup of coffee.

This year, we celebrate here. Next year, on Qo’noS!
