A leaflet for the weekend celebrations of the Cardiff New Synagogue (now known as the Cardiff Reform Synagogue) for Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee. The booklet includes the Jubilee prayer given by Alfred Moritz, as well as a historical account of the relationship between the Jews and the Throne written by Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain.

The Cardiff Reform Synagogue was founded in 1948 as the Cardiff New Synagogue. The following year, it became a constituent member of the Movement for Reform Judaism. Born in reaction against the more restrictive traditions of the Orthodox Judaism of Cardiff Hebrew Congregation, such as the prohibition of driving on the Sabbath and the ban on interfaith marriages, the new Synagogue appealed to the immigrants who had fled the war-torn Europe, where the Reform movement was already well-established. The congregation worships in a converted Methodist Chapel on Moira Terrace they acquired in 1952.
