B a u m a n R a r e B o o k s F a i t h 2 0 2 1 62 Fascinating 1961 Illustrated Israeli School Haggadah 63. (HAGGADAH) School Haggadah. Israel, 1961. Oblong octavo, staple-bound as issued, original pictorial tan paper wrappers. $600. Click for More Info Interesting Israeli Haggadah from the Tel-Nordau School (founded in 1926), in original wrappers. In the early days of Israeli statehood, Haggadot were very much a DIY project. Inspired by the kibbutz movement, which routinely printed their own Haggadot—often incorporating the social concerns of the day—other seder-holding groups in Israel began to create their own, from schools to community centers. This Haggadah, created for Bet- Sefer Tel-Nordau (established 1926), incorporates illustrations inspired by 1960s Judaica and is printed in typical kibbutz style—cheap, staple-bound, and only meant to last for a single year’s seders. Interior unusually clean, minor staining, light wear, and toning to extremities of wrappers. Extremely good condition.
