This comparative study provides a detailed analysis of two Purim texts that parody the Passover Hagadah. The original Hebrew-Aramaic text, Haġadá lelel šikorim, by Hirsch Sommerhausen (Niederwehren, Bavaria, 1781 – Brussels 1853), was first published Lemberg in 1847. The second, which was derived from the first is Haġadá šel Purim (Jerusalem 1894), published by the Jerusalem bookseller Šelomó Yisrael Šereślí and translated into Judeo-Spanish by Ben-Ŝiyón Taragán. The texts, dedicated to Purim, without any special satirical intention provide a parody exalting wine above all other alcoholic beverages. The analysis presents an edited study of the second text with references to the original text and specifically highlights variations between the two.
