Celebrating the Queen's Silver Jubilee... with an American siddur

[lethargic_man]

Here is the children's siddur that I, along with all the children in the Newcastle Jewish Nursery School, was presented with in 1977 to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee.

The irony is that it's an American publication: I find it amusing to have the dedication to the Queen at one end and the Star Spangled Banner at the other.

Moreover, facing the Star Spangled Banner is the Hatikvah (the Israeli national anthem). As a child I had no idea what either of those was, but, being used to seeing Hebrew in siddurim with its translation on the facing page, for many years I was under the impression that the Star Spangled Banner was the translation of the Hatikvah!
