Passover Haggadah... four commentaries: Zevach Pesach HaShalem by Rabbi Yitzchak Abarbanel, shiboley Haleket Hashalem by Rabbi Zedekiah HaRofeh, the commentary of the Gr'a of Vilna, the commentary of Rabbi Yaakov Emdin. Published by Masora, Ladz 1936.

The Haggadah was printed in the city of Lodz during the rising anti-Semitic years in the city. In fact, in the first decades of the 20th century, Polish anti-Semitism existed in the city, which was based mainly on Jewish economic success. In 1934 the antisemitic parties came to power, the parties wanted to expel the Jews from the city, which increased the attacks and murder against the Jews. Even when the Social Party rose in 1936, anti-Semitism and harassment among Polish residents continued. The Haggadah before us was printed under the same cliff in the Jewish community that was the second largest in Poland after Warsaw, about two years before the conquest of Lodz, and the establishment of the Jewish ghetto by the Nazi forces.
