Yitzchak of Volozhin and the Grand Rabbi of Lubavitch, Menachem Mendel Schneersohn (Author of Tzemach Tzedek). The text of this Hagadah is heavily censored. For example, the words (p. 357) of Ha Lachma Anya have been altered to read “Now we are slaves “Beduchtin tuva” (in good places)... next year we should be free “Kebe’arah didan” (as in our country)

pp. (8), 396, x , 362, (index bound at end). Lacking p. 351-52. Marginal repair to title, with previous owner's signature, Leon Eger, on second title,
