Non-Traditional Haggadah. Kibbutz Manara, 1945

A Haggadah printed by stencil with simple illustrations. 

Alongside the traditional texts of the Haggadah are excerpts from Frishman ["And from the worms you made - man, and from man - a nation, and from the sand dunes - a country"], Berel Katznelson ["A nation commemorates its exodus from the house of slavery for thousands of years throughout all of the tunnels of slavery, compulsion and Inquisition and the persecutions and the pogroms the nation bears yearning for freedom in its heart..."], Brenner ["On this day, of which there has never been such a bad one since we were exiled. A day of ceaseless fears and a lack of faith in life for the remnant which is found...vulgarity and malice have spread their sovereignty everywhere and the Divine Presence will hide its head in a cloud and weep from pain and humiliation..."], Shneur [defiant excepts against Divine Providence "I, the impoverished of deeds return to you Master of the Universe, the court case has yet to end, I will no longer fear...and pious ones will be brought to judgement and the House of Israel are witnesses...we will no longer wait for a redeemer! We will be the redeemers..."]. Bialik, Rachel and others. 

A rare Haggadah. The National Library has a later Haggadah from Kibbutz Manara from 1946. The Haggadah before us does not appear in the National Library. 

Kibbutz Manara was founded on January 20, 1943 by a group of youngsters from the Hanoar HaOved movement and a group of immigrants from Germany and Poland on the peak of a mountain 880 meters above sea level.
