The Bizarre 'Red Haggadah' A Soviet Attempt to Undermine Passover

Brief description of one of the most bizarre Haggadahs ever published: a Soviet version designed to undermine the essential foundations of Passover itself.

I'm not Jewish, but I really enjoy your videos! I watched so many of them they are so fascinating. The Jewish history is so rich and interesting thank you for making them.

[mattnewhouse]

Thank you again for another intellectually stimulating and fascinating video. You are one of the very few things I can watch on YouTube without worry of brain cells rotting away.

[marcelomeireles]

Very impressive, dr. It is like the operational form of the marxian book "Zur Judenfrage".

Just finish watching your video on the Talmud and could not comment on it but I want to thank you that was a great video explaining in simple terms the document this is a good one too I miss seeing you not getting notifications just letting you know I have to search for you most of the time LOL

I love your videos. They are so calming. Brings me back to my roots. That scene with the volcano almost looks like Mt. Sinai, although maybe it's not supposed to represent that, they're still in Egypt. Crazy with the Maror sandwich being class enemies.

Jews have often used the Exodus story to represent certain social causes, such as feminist-themed Seders (which I'm not really a fan of) but also Seder's themed around certain social causes such as human trafficking or Civil Rights. Even African Americans took the Exodus narrative as a way to describe their freedom from bondage.

This was really interesting. Thanks for posting!

Thanks Mr. Henry Abramson, for all the lectures.
Can you give a lecture, about Ashkenazi Jews. Like what time did the Jews arrived in the German peninsula? When did the Jews move out to France, Hungry, Poland and other countries?

Wonder what the illustration for Shefoch Chamoscha al Hagoyim looks like !!

[lorenfulghum]

wow... outlawing final forms ? this is truly bizarre!

[srnrn]

"Final forms are unproletarian" is a very bizarre worldview. Can't they try make sofit forms of every letter instead of getting rid of it for few special letters but I guess socialist egalitarianism works this way :P Apparently, they had no problem in insulting the intellect of proletariat by saying that they can't learn variations of few letters. Very interesting video Rabbi, thank you...

[markjacobi]

Very interesting even here in Melbourne Australia we have some people who still teach others about " The Red Hagaddah" Bizarre!
Sorry to ask but how can one try and be a good parent/grandparent and Jew by trying to teach such stuff?

[stevenedelstein]

Wow ! do you think they banned שסוד הגאולה הרמוז באותיות מנצפ"ך

[AlanEKranz]

Clearly, they have not yet encountered stalin, yemach shemo.

[HBrawl-Stars]

Sounds like the new Maxwell House Haggadah rewritten by the reforms lol!!
Thank you Dr Abramson!

[cleanwaternasenyiuganda]

Socialism & antisemitism go hand in hand.

The whole haggadah is available. Google red soviet haggadah.
