Hagadah shel Pesach. Plugah Eretz-Yisraelit LiMedidah.

(HAGADAH).

Italy

1946

FIRST EDITION. Hebrew and Yiddish. Amusing cartoon illustrations, many of a contemporary nature.

Unrecorded

Most original production issued for the Jewish soldiers of the Palestinian Surveying Corps, attached to the British Army in Italy. Traditional text with much parody included. Alongside Hagadah liturgy appear original ditties, reflecting upon the serviceman's experience in the British Army. Especially engaging is the mock version of "Chad Gadya" (One Goat) here rendered "Chad Chayala" (One Soldier), recounting the tribulations of the returning soldier searching for a flat in Tel-Aviv and the endless bureaucracy awaiting.
