Made in China but produced for the extremely orthodox Jewish community, "Bubbaale Shimaale" (Simon the doll)

four finger hands (non-human), and exaggerated facial proportions.
Shimaale is fully wired: Pressing his right palm will make him recite the "Modeh Ani" prayer
(typically recited by orthodox children every morning), pressing his left palm will make him recite the "Shema Yisroel" prayer, the most important (short) prayer in the Jewish Religion.
