On the page after the cover, the roaring lion emblem of the IDF Central Command is printed in large with the text: “This songbook is given as a souvenir to participants of the central Seder of Central Command at “Metzudat Kfir” 1974. The songbook opens with the verse “Yisrael Betach BaHashem Ezram uMaginam Hu” “Yevarechecha Hashem MiTzion”, “Yonati BeChagvei HaSela” followed by “Simchu Shamayim”, “Ha’er Eineynu”, and more.
