Independence Haggadah – Aharon Megged
Independence Haggadah. Published by IDF / Human Resources - Information branch, [1952].
This Haggadah, telling the story of the War of Independence and the establishment of the State of Israel, was written by author Aharon Megged while on reserve-duty service at the chief education and culture officer headquarters, on the initiative of then-Minister of Education Ben-Zion Dinur. Ten thousand copies were printed, intended for soldiers to read on the eve of Independence Day. The religious units and the military rabbinate objected, and the Haggadahs were destroyed. [20]
Enclosed is a copy of "Maariv" newspaper dated 5 Iyar, 1952 with an article about the "Independence Haggadah" and a photocopy of another press article on the same topic.
[20] leaves, 20 cm. Fair condition. Filing holes. Wear. Stains. Some tears.
