Non-traditional Haggadah 'Beit Natif' 1950 - the only Haggadah issued by the settlement, after its occupation by IDF forces in 1948.
Along with Aviv songs, and excerpts from the traditional Haggadah, the excerpts appearing in a large part of the kibbutz Haggadahs were added: 'pesach am shomer', 'Last generation for slavery and first for redemption', 'We will stand firm in our place', 'And the land will be quiet', Towards the end of the Haggadah, a section is added that distinguishes this Haggadah, and opens with the words: 'Yes, somewhere the patience of boys and girls emanates ...'. And concerned the difficulty of finding lands, and the difficult attempt to flower the wilderness. There is also another section dealing with the advantage of residence in a 'kibbutz' over living in the city. 'Kibbutz property serves as a basis for personal development ... because people will move from a state of rough competition ... to a state of cooperation ... the individual will have more leisure, And the freedom of the spirit is more ... '. In addition, an original passage is opened with the words 'Bless my soul', which refers to the heavy desire for the earth that emerges', and 'the hunger of the soul and the intoxication of the senses of the conquerors of the continent and the sea'.
Beit Natif is originally a large Arab village in the Ella Valley. During the mountain operation on October 22, 1948, the village was captured and its inhabitants fled in the direction of Bethlehem and Hebron. After the conquest of the village, the village houses were used as a place of residence for members of Kibbutz Nativ HaLa"h in its early days. After these moved to the new houses they had built, there was a military camp on the site for several years. The settlements of Neve Michael, Aviezer and Nativ HaLa" were established on the village lands, and the ruins of the village are still located in the hills between Beit Shemesh and Nativ HaLa".
In the Steiner list for kibbutz Haggadot, this Haggadah, which was published in 1950, appears as the only Haggadah published in Beit Natif.
