Among the kibbutzim represented are Giv'at Brenner, Deganyah, Ramat ha-Kovesh, and Bet ha-Shitah. The secular haggadot are put out by youth groups, army units, schools, Zionist organizations in Israel and in the diaspora, including Chile, Brazil, Australia, United States and various European countries.
