Siddur and Stickers

Stickers are not just for kids anymore! Nowadays, people cover their water bottles, laptop covers, suitcases, notebooks etc. with stickers! I bet you have never seen a siddur covered in stickers before? (A siddur is the Jewish prayer book.) Did you know you different places may have free stickers if you ask?

Everyone on a USY summer trip gets their own personal siddur you can decorate however you want! (We have to pray at least 2 times a day.😥) One of the uniquest parts of USY on Wheels or any USY trip is decorating the cover or outside of your siddur in stickers from all or as many places as possible you visited to remember your trip! Some museums, ice cream shops or places may have free stickers if you just ask at the information desk or cashiers. However, I bought the majority of my stickers.

I really loved collecting stickers. I have stickers from the Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, Yellowstone, NASA, the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, New Orleans, Cabbage Patch Kids, Sedona, Mount Rushmore (which was very over priced), Chicago, CNN, etc. I also still have some stickers that I didn't put on my siddur.

My favorite sticker is the one, I bought in New Orleans because it is a beignet. The beignet has a little face drawn on it. I also like the rocket sticker from NASA because it is a very unique shape and a good shape to use for the spine. I also love my big circle sticker from Sedona because it is very colorful with shades of purple, pink, and green. The stickers I bought previously were lacking in colors and shows the red rocks that are unique to Sedona.

My Wheels siddur is very special to me because it isn't an ordinary siddur. It's a colorful one with stickers on the outside, sticky notes I wrote reflecting on a prayer or life and Dove wrappers that hold inspirational quotes. (I still need to decorate the edges of the pages when the siddur is closed.) I bring it with me to most times when I go to services on Saturday.

I'm really proud of how my siddur turned out!
