Passover Haggadah. Caesarea [Sedot Yam, ca. 1950].
Non-traditional, illustrated Haggadah; mimeographed. The Haggadah contains passages of the traditional text alongside passages of prose and poetry dealing with Passover as the Festival of Spring, the revival of the Jewish people in their country and the establishment of the State of Israel.
The Haggadah begins with bible quotes dealing with spring and agricultural work, alongside Bialik's poem "Pa'amei Aviv" and other passages. Following are passages of the Haggadah and the story of the exodus from Egypt; the Haggadah then turns to current affairs – the destruction of Jewry in the diaspora in contrast with the reviving nation, which took its fate in its own hands, settled in its forefathers' land and established a state. On leaves 14-15 appears Bialik's poem "Kumu To'ei Midbar" (Rise You who are Lost in the Desert). The text on leaf 17 deals with the past of the nation in contrast to its future.
[1] front cover, 25 leaves (should be: 24; leaf 5 is missing from the pagination), [1] back cover, 21 cm. Good condition. Stains, especially on the cover. Minor creases. Tears and open tears along the spine and edges of the cover.
