The Text of "Vayehi Ba-hazi Halayla", which refers to the redemption of Egypt, replaced with a text referring to the liberation of the Katamon neighborhood in Jerusalem on the eve of Passover: "And in the middle of the night Jerusalem was the eternal capital of Israel. The road from the lowlands is blocked, the food supply in the city goes on and on ... In those days, the Haganah units decided to purge the new Jerusalem from the enemy's ... A difficult battle ... Fate was sealed on Passover night The Katamon neighborhood was liberated by the Haganah. Israeli soldiers decided that this place would create a home for Israel's persecuted children in the world. The house is up ... and the children's raised in our house are carried over the hillsides that were released on Seder night'. An image of a soldier largely waving for victory, alongside a sniper in a shot. (In the War of Independence, the neighborhood was a buffer between the Hebrew neighborhoods in the southern part of the city - Mekor Haim, Talpiot and Arnona - and Rehavia and the city center. After the Arab residents evacuated the neighborhood, it was relatively easily conquered by the Haganah in the first months of 1948).

"We are cashing in to keep the first cup of four cups for Yichud Israel in Israel and in the Diaspora." An original poem entitled "All Dichfin" deals with the renewal of youth and the mysteries of creation, a second cup for the unified state of Israel, a third cup dedicated to the pioneering movement that fulfills its ideas, new text on Egyptian man strikes Hebrew man, A new version of the song 'Had Gadya', fourth cup raised to witness the eternal exile of Israel from the Eastern countries making their way to the land', and more.
