Great post Erin! Thank you for sharing the Queen with us and giving visitors a behind the scenes view of how it all comes together. Hope to see some of you at The Jewish Museum soon.

RE:- Elizabeth goes to New York – September 17, 2012 | By Erin Blake
Just to let you know I am directly related to one of the main subjects of this piece.
Thomas Neale, Professor of Hebrew to Elizabeth the First was my Uncle [ie the elder brother of my direct ancestor William Neale]. It is a shame that I wasn’t aware during 2012 of this exhibit!.
I also have a connection with New York as my eldest daughter was married on top of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre in the year of 1911. We visited NYC again earlier this year.
