This text was prepared by William Gross:
Haggadah shel Pesach mit a sotsyalishtishn nosach. (Yiddish: Passover Haggadah - socialist version). Published by “der sotzyaldemokrat”, Binyamin Gaytzelham printing press, Podgףrze, 1919. Yiddish. Parody in Yiddish about the Passover Haggadah, with a socialist interpretation. The characters are from a Jewish Shtetl: R’ Shmuel owns a factory, R’ Meir is a banker, R’ Zerach is a moneylender, and R’ Tudris is a Rabbi. They discuss socialist matters thus interpreting the story of Passover and the Exodus from Egypt. It is written that the Haggadah was first published in Krakow in 1900 by the “Bund”; an additional edition was published in the United States in 1910; this is one of the earliest non-traditional Haggadot printed.
