Hamburg: n.p. 1844
A parody for Purim based on the Passover Hagadah. “One of the cleverest liturgical imitations known in Hebrew literature. The diction and style of the liturgy are reproduced in it with consummate skill, but instead of devotional spirit, it is permeated with humor and fun.” See: I. Davidson, Parody in Jewish Literature, New York 1966, pp. 110-11.
