Non-traditional Haggadah illustrated and hand-painted, Kibbutz Givat Brenner, Year not mentioned, mid-1940s.
The Haggadah opens with original spring songs, ‘Striped shirts worn by the garden’, ‘Tal let to please your country’, ‘Here I will sing my flute’, excerpts from the traditional Haggadah, and ‘Kumu toey midbar’. Then there is a contemporary text: ‘Will enter the land the lost in the heart of the sea’ which refers to the illegal immigrants’ attempt to immigrate to Israel by ships and the closing of the gates of the land in contemporary language: ” Enter into the land the lost in the heart of the sea and struggling with the waves of despair and terror, do not abandon to the dangers of the days all those whom no beach in the world will accept, but only the shore of their land. If ships now wander in the middle of the sea with Jewish refugees in them, they will enter the country. To the land of their national home and be with us. It will pass over them which will pass over us … Across the days the flag bearers of the troubles of Jews are abandoned. These will not let the gates of the land close, they will not let the conscience of the world calm down. The Jewish refugee is leading the battle, and we must all leave his armies … “, and more.
