In Hebrew. 243 x 174 mm. 24 pages. The National Library of Israel highlighted this Haggadah in an exhibition of a selection of its haggadot. It is a non-traditional Haggadah. In its April 2, 2002 issue, a wide circulation Israel Newspaper published an article listing a selection of ten haggadot out of ten thousand editions published over the centuries, listing each of the ten as superlative in some area or other. One of the ten is this 1948 non-traditional Haggadah. Below is an English translation of the original Hebrew: The Most Patriotic. The Haggadah of the Third Regiment of the Palmach, from [5]708. 1948. The Third Regiment was active in the Galilee from the start of the War of Independence and during Passover of that year it fought a fierce battle at the Nabi-Yusha citadel, [a police fortress built by the British in 1939 to stop both French Vichy government forces, stationed in Syria and Lebanon, who were allied with the Nazis, and to stop armed Arabs who flowed into the area from across the border in order to kill Jews.] After Passover they [the Palmach soldiers] conquered the citadel. The Haggadah was written and reflects the impressions that the battles had and it deals with the fragility of the existence of the Jewish settlement on the eve of the establishment of the state, in one of the moments of crisis during the War of Independence." The lives of 28 men were lost in the taking of the citadel. Printed in a lithograhic press with illustrations. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 007383
