Originally published in 1927 by the Soviet Commissariat for Nationalities, Haggadah for Believers and Heretics is a radical reimagining of the traditional Passover Haggadah, repurposed as a call to class struggle and socialist internationalism. Written by Moyshe Altshuler, a Jewish Communist organizer, this Yiddish text transforms the Exodus narrative into a revolutionary parable, rejecting nationalism and Zionism in favor of solidarity with all oppressed peoples.
Appearing for the first time in English, alongside the original Yiddish, this edition arrives at a critical moment in the global struggle against Zionism and colonialism. With a new introduction by Noah Leininger that contextualizes the Haggadah within the history of Jewish anti-Zionist resistance, Haggadah for Believers and Heretics serves as both a historical document and a living text-one that affirms Jewish liberation as inseparable from the fight against imperialism and apartheid.
Essential reading for anti-Zionist practitioners of Judaism, socialist internationalists, and all those engaged in the struggle for Palestinian liberation, this edition restores a lost piece of Jewish radical history to the present moment, proving once again that Judaism and Zionism are not the same-and that the tradition of Jewish resistance has always belonged to the oppressed, not the oppressors.
