Description

This text was prepared by William Gross:

This booklet is one of the very many editions of the Passover Haggadah published in Morocco during the 20th century. The rendition of the four sons on the title page shows the bad son as a boxer.  This was published by Lugassi, one of the primary printers in Morocco in the 30's and 40's until his emigration to Israel with the founding of the state.  He continued his publishing activities after his arrival. The Haggadah is listed in the Marciano bibliography of Jewish printing in Morocco.
