This Haggadah, written in Hebrew with a Judeo-Arabic translation includes the prayers of Maariv for Passover and a commentary by Rabbi David Asbag, a member of a prominent rabbinic family in Morocco. The volume also contains an image of the author and a dedication page. The text was approved by the censor in Rabat in September of 1942 – just one month before the American and British forces invaded Nazi-occupied Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia.
