Hungarian Siddur 9.5 x 7 x 1.75 inch(es) , Paper, leather, ink Israel, 1934 My father

Our cousin translated this siddur to Hungarian from Hebrew so that Hungarians could understand the meaning of the prayers. My grandfather went to Israel to see his cousin and stopped at a book store to see if they knew him. It turns out that they had this book written by his cousin's father and arranged for them to meet.


This siddur is used by Hungarian speaking Jews who now can pray and have a much better understanding of the Hebrew prayers.
