Non-traditional Haggadah, Kibbutz Alonim, late 1930s, or early 1940s. Stencil printing with illustrations. The first Haggadah printed in the Kibbutz [?].

The place and time the Haggadah was printed were not indicated on the cover. It is possible that before us the first Haggadah printed in the kibbutz, since on page 10 there is a passage referring to the first immigrants to Masada: 'At the last moment of courage I fled to an exile ship to Masada'. Similarly, on the last page of the Haggadah in a scroll, there is a passage that opens with the words: "Few people came here ..." and emotionally describes the initial settlement: "We came ... from all corners of the country, from city alleys, workshops and factories from field and orchard. We came here lacking experience and property and with us only the fertile vigor of youth, and with us only a passionate desire of youth erupting and rising, we came here to continue the chain of the Hebrew worker saturated with suffering .. And we ascend ... to the lands of couscous - Tivon, and we turn desolate mountains into the mountains of Tnuva ... We built a watchtower, the land of the ancients first foresaw the lightning of electricity, sowing security in its surroundings ... We have established a new generation to cultivate the fields of Tivon forever". Similarly, there is Paragraph about: "The story of Masada is so beautiful and the wall of wonders ... ".

There is an section about the pioneer who immigrates to Eretz Israel that opens with the words: 'Who are you who ascends here, and your head is full of dew fragments? ...

Alonim is a kibbutz in the northern Jezreel Valley, near Kiryat Tivon, which was established by three young members of the working youth movement on August 13, 1935, who initially lived in three barracks on the land.
