A non-traditional Haggadah. Printed handwriting with pleasant illustrations. Mafil printing press, Tel Aviv.
The Haggadah begins with original poems for spring. An extra verse was added to Mah Nishtana: "That on every night we tell other stories, tonight - one story". There are additional paragraphs which deal with the sin of the spies, and more.
Toward the end of the Haggadah is a long text describing the developing national fortitude. "..Suddenly, a brave and courageous nation will arise, and their eyes shine, and their hands reaching for swords and they cry: We are heros!...Our hands alone, our strong hands when the yoke became heavy on our necks...and who is our master?...We went out to change the face of the world, to put an end to the man's servitude to his fellow man... When were we born? At the time when the first spark of honor was ignited in the slave's heart. When did we raise the flag? When the first downtrodden one rose up against his oppressor..." and more.
32 pages. 24 cm. Title-page cover. Stains on the margins of the binding. A few stains on the back binding.
Fine condition.
