summary

This highly innovative Passover Hagadah (hardly the traditional text) tells the story of the Habonim Zionist Youth Movement of England. The movement maintained its own farm in Kent (“Kibbutz Habonim,”) which served as a training ground (or hachsharah), for Aliyah to Eretz Israel. Afterward, hostels were opened in Devon, at Exmouth, Dawlish and Teignmouth. Groups worked the land, first in Lincoln and then at Chiver's and Haughley in Suffolk (p. 9)
