Non-traditional Haggada. Kevutzat Moshav Shiller. 1953
[36] pages, 23 cm.
Nice manuscript with brown illustratons. Non-traditional texts have been added to the haggada, poems and national texts referring to the establishment of the political State, such as: "This Passover we will note the memory of our holy martyrs, the soldiers who fought for the establishment of Yisrael in our land...we will bless the pioneers for their immigration...who turned the burning marshes into flour fields....who paved the roads and built the desolation...", in addition "and now, we have arisen to remove the yoke of exile from upon us and to make us a new land...to find rest for our feet and renew our treaty with the land..."
It also mentions the Holocaust: "And we screamed to Hashem our G-d from the servitude and the auto-de-fe and were not answered...," and more. The haggada ends with a summary of the Israeli Declaration of Independence [as part of the haggada text], and an illustrated chart of the years since the destruction of the First and Second Temples, the fall of Masada, the Warsaw Uprising, the immigration of the Shiller group and the establishment of the State of Israel.
Not included in Steiner's list of Kibbutz haggadot.
Paper jacket with illustration on back, aging stains, fine-very fine condition.
