Non-Traditional Haggadah - Tel Aviv, 1940

Non-traditional haggadah published by The General Federation of Hebrew Laborers in the Land of Israel, Council of Tel Aviv-Jaffa Workers, Cultural Committee. Tel Aviv 1940. Stencil print. Haggadah divided into "reading" passages for the various courses of the meal, with quotations from D. Frishman, Postolsky, Berl Katzelelson and more.

Aside various original texts, there is an interesting passage referring to the long-suffering of the Jewish people, and the harsh current events: "Year after year, jubilees have gone by and the end of the suffering of our people has not been awakened. Now as then, the waters have not reprieved, the ark of Israel blusters about on cruel waves, the hand is still outstretched, the hand of strangers upon us. In Germany, in Poland, and in Romania, in Yemen and in Persia, the whole world is robbed and broken. The terror of the shadow of death encompasses us exile after exile, from Egypt until now we have not shed the rod of exile. Go out and learn what Lavan the Arami desired, and what others have desired. To consume Yaakov, make his home desolate, to trample him and not have pity on the worm of Yaakov. And just as they torture him, he will break forth, because the spirit of Israel has not been beaten, then as now. The rebelliousness is not extinct. The urge for freedom lives on, the urge for freedom, this desire of Israel's, born of slavery. With its strength it will bubble up and wash away the filth from the world ..." and more. The year of the haggadah's print appears on its last page.

Rare haggadah, does not appear in Steiner's list.

[4] leaves. 27 cm. Stains, detached leaves. Fine condition.
