Non-traditional Haggada - Mossad Chinuchi Mishmar Ha'Emek. Start of the 1940s
Illustrated, non-traditional Haggada - some drawn and some linocuts. Typewritten. Start of the 1940s.
The haggada opens with paragraphs about the Holocaust: "It is locked in our memory the suffering of our nation and its great tragedy and we send our deepfelt blessings and encouragment to our brethren suffering in the valley of hell. May our cries and their screams arise and find a listening ear and may we merit to witness the rejuvenation of the nation."
Includes many lengthy original texts that mention the Macabees and the Chanuka miracle, the exile amongst the nations, the Arab enemy: "Even here in our land, as the pioneers build and the giant campaign of rejuvenating the nation, we know that they are plotting against us..." and more.
the body of the book does not mention a year of printing, but the content indicates that it was printed at the start of the 1940s. At the end of the haggada there is a paragraph: "Despite the Balfour Declaration which enabled the Jewish Nation to build a national homeland in Palestine, the ships of refugees knock on the gates of their homeland, their last haven, and the gates are closed and those fleeing the sword who are chased on the dry lands, sunk to the depths in the Mediterranean Sea, in face of their yearned for homeland....but we know, that despite the obstacles in our path, and despite the land laws...they will not overcome us..." The mention of the ships that "sank to the depths in the Mediterranean sea refers to the sinking of the Patria deportation ship and the illegal immigrant ship Sturma in 1941. In addition the "land laws" refers to the bylaws of the White Paper of 1939, which limited the Jewish population to specific areas in Palestine.
Rare haggada. Not in the National Library.
