You may have heard—Jewish Currents launched a membership program last year. If you join as an “Illuminati” or “Elders of Zion” member, you will get access not only to exclusive events and a subscription to our award-winning magazine, but also a copy of The Israeli Black Panthers Haggadah! This beautiful hardbound book will make a meaningful contribution to your Passover seder for years to come.
Written in 1971 on a stolen typewriter in a dark tin shack in Jerusalem, The Israeli Black Panthers Haggadah marked a seminal moment in the Mizrahi struggle. This bilingual (Hebrew/English) edition, published by Jewish Currents Press in 2021, includes a new introduction by Panthers co-founder Reuven Abergel and an updated English translation of the Haggadah alongside new footnotes rich with anecdotes, notes on the authors’ intentions, and crucial context about the movement and its world. It also features original essays about the Panthers’ impact and the future of the Mizrahi struggle, written by Orly Noy, Sapir Sluzker Amran, and Carmen Elmakiyes Amos.
The Israeli Black Panthers Haggadah is also available in our shop, and makes a perfect gift for family and friends. Domestic orders placed by Monday, April 8th will arrive before the first night of Passover (Monday night, April 22nd).
