HaKibbutz HaMeuchad, Habacharut [Hasotzialistit] (Socialist Young Guard) – two non-traditional Haggadot, mimeographed, with illustrations. Include passages from the traditional version alongside passages of Hebrew literature and poetry.
Toward their ends, the Haggadot reveal the history of the Kevutza (group), which was established in 1932 by the members of the "Bacharut" [the Young Guard of Mapai] and decided to live the life of an urban Kibbutz, at first in a shack on the beach of Tel-Aviv and eventually on the lands of the JNF in the Borochov neighborhood (today in Givatayim). Due to hardships, many of the members left and returned to Tel-Aviv. Later, the group was joined by the first immigrants of "HaBonim", "HaChalutz HaTza'ir", "The Borochov Youth", and "Freiheit" from Poland and Germany and they revived it.
