An edition issued to raise funds for the Yeshiva. Portions of the Hagadah are commented upon with reference to the plight of the Yeshiva, for example: Bitter Herbs - “It is bitter and hard to to keep up the existence of the Yeshiva… The "simanim" (initials) for the Yeshiva in Yiddish are YRC"B DH"G,” which stands for, "Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin Darf Hoben Gelt" (Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin Needs Money!)
