In today's news, the Israeli population is furious, society is increasingly angry and divided, and Bibi fires the defense minister who dared to put security first. Meanwhile, he tweets that electricity prices are going down by 2.4% next month.

Purchased at the YU Seforim Sale in 1991. Kol Dodi Haggadah, by Rav Dovid Feinstein zt"l. Used for the past 32 years, and it shows.

What haggadah have you been using, which lovingly shows its age and consistent use? Send a picture, too.
