2-31 leaves. Non-traditional haggada, vowelized, printed by stencil, illustrations. Various texts have been inserted into the body of the haggada, such as poems written by kibbutz members, texts related to the establishment of the kibbutz: “This seder night is the 14th year since we’ve become united and joined together members from various exiles, from our dispersed nation” [This line is similar to a statement included in the kibbutz’s haggada from 1947], and more. The inserted texts also relate to the Arab enemy – some of the story of the servitude in Egypt was directed against the Yishmaelites during the War of Independence: “The Egyptians did bad to us too and the Bnei Yishmael, and they said they would destroy our state and would come upon us with great numbers and grand strength and the men spoke to each other, ‘let us go up to Jerusalem and destroy it from its nation, because they are few, but our strength is great and we will divide the spoils and destroy all traces of Yisrael from under the sun.’ But the nation did not get scared and they stood up in small numbers and little ammunition and hit them with ten plagues and liberated their land.” Some texts relate to the Holocaust: “And in this generation, Satan did much when he disseminated hatred for our nation…six hundred ten thousands of our nation were killed before their time. They died from hunger and thirst, under duress, with sword and suffocation and were killed publicly though they did not sin, because they were of Jewish descent.” It also relates to the establishment of the State of Israel: “This seder night is the first of the new State of Israel and the first that we celebrate after the difficult campaign to protect the borders of our state.” In addition to a lengthy poem, a few-pages long, relating specifically to 1948: “1948 is a year of many events in the history of the Jewish Nation, who can express its greatness? On the 17th of Kislev, 1948, the nations of the world recognized the right of the Jewish Nation to have a state…” Rare haggada that is not in the National Library.
