  Le-Chag ha-Cherut, Tel Aviv, 1948

© Gross Family Collection, Photographer: Unknown,

This text was prepared by William Gross:

This is a non-traditional Haggadah published in 1948 for soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces. Published only a few months prior to the establishment of the State of Israel (and used for the last Passover before independence), this Haggadah re-interprets the traditional four cups of wine: the first cup is for the Life of the Jewish State, the second is for the Life of the Haganah, the third for the Life of the Aliyah, and the fourth for the Life of the Yechidah.
With illustrations by Arieh Aluel.
The first official Israel Defense Force Haggadah was printed one year later, in 1949. Since then, there have been  only about a dozen different IDF versions. While a new edition was printed annually, most years (especially in the 1970s- late 1990s) the same illustrations and templates were used again and again.
