Haggadah shel Pesach mit a sotsyalistishn nosach [Passover Haggadah – socialist version]. Podgórze: Binyamin Geizhals for "Der Sotsyaldemokrat", 1919. Yiddish.
A Yiddish parody of the Passover Haggadah, with a socialist interpretation. The characters are from a Jewish Shtetl: R. Shmuel owns a factory, R. Meir is a banker, R. Zerach is a moneylender, and R. Tudris is a Rabbi. They discuss socialist matters thus interpreting the story of Passover and the Exodus from Egypt.
According to the Haggadah, it was first published in Krakow in 1900 by the Bund; an additional edition was published in the United States in 1910. This is one of the earliest non-traditional Haggadot.
23 pp, 15 cm. Good-fair condition. Stains and creases. Minor tears and blemishes. Tears along the spine, reinforced with three pieces of tape.
