Yaari 816; Yudlov 1095

All the editions of this Hagadah are among the most heavily censored Hagadoth published. For example, the words (on f. 8a) of Keha 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). The commentary states that in “our day, when we are under the rule of benevolent kings, this is the correct reading of the text.” Even more surprising, the entire section of “Shefoch Chamathcha” (Cast your anger upon the nations...) has been deleted
