Passover Haggadah. "BaTelem" [1936].
Non-traditional Haggadah. Handwritten in pencil and carbon paper.
Kibbutz Ein-Gev was established in 1937. 50 members of "BaTelem" group of "HeChlutz" and "HaBonim" movements in Germany who joined in 1935 about 100 members of "Nezach" [No'ar Zofi Chalutzi] from Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia and Austria. Prior to settling in Ein-Gev they stayed temporarily in Kineret farm. In 1937 the first Haggadah of Kibbutz Ein- Gev was produced (by copying the handwritten text), still during the stay in Kineret farm, under the title "Passover Haggadah, BaTelem, Kineret farm, 1937".
The Haggadah presented here preceded this Haggadah and it was probably used as a draft which was duplicated for the group members. On the cover appears a handwritten comment "published in Bitania Kineret, PIKA farm, BaTelem - Ein-Gev". The relation to Bitania is not clear. The text is interesting and includes a variation of "Ma Nishtana", a review about the Jews of Russia, Poland, Romania, Germany and other countries, a song by Ya'akov Orland, and additional texts. [7] leaves, 29.5 cm. Fair-good condition. Tears, folding-marks, stains. Third leaf is a copy, all other leaves in pencil.

Passover Haggadah, HaKibbutz HaMeuchad, [socialist] "Bacharut", Borochov Neighborhood, [1939].
Non-traditional Haggadah, stenciled, with illustrations. Includes: "VeZot HaHaggadah" - story of the Kevutzah, established in 1932 by "Bacharut" members who decided to lead an urban kibbutz life, in a shed on the Tel- Aviv seashore. From there the Kevutzah moved to the Borochov neighborhood, and many of the members quit. New immigrants of "HaBonim", "HeChalutz HaTza'ir", "No'ar Borochov" and "Freiheit" members from Poland and Germany joined the group and injected new life into it. The Kevutzah continued to reside on the Yarkon River bank when JNF acquired the land for them, and later on constructed permanent housing there. A Map of Eretz Israel is folded within the Haggadah on which "HaKibbutz HaMeuchad" kibbutzim are marked.
[36] leaves (long Haggadah), 21x17.5 cm. + folded map 21x17.5 cm. Good condition. Minor damages to cover.

Passover Haggadah. [Members of] "Machar". [Kfar Saba/Gevaram], 1943.
Non-traditional Haggadah. On the last three pages: "this is the story of the eighth year" telling the story of Kibbutz Gevaram on the lands of Sumsum: "Machar" group was founded in Germany in 1935. Upon arrival in Eretz Israel the group joined "Hakibbutz HaMeuchad" and was sent for training and temporary works in Kfar Saba. The members established Kibbutz Gevaram next to the Arab village Sumsum in the southern coastal line. It seems that in 1943 "Gevaram" was not yet the name of the Kibbutz and some of the members were still in Kfar Saba. It was, therefore, written at the end: "This year in Kfar Saba and Sumsum and next year we shall all be in Sumsum!!!". [1], 35 pp, [1] leaf (back cover; front cover is missing), 21 cm. Good condition. Back cover detached. Stains, minor damages at borders of leaves.
