Thepostage stamps and postal history of Israel is a survey of the postage stampsissued by the state of Israel, and its postal history, since independence wasproclaimed on May 14, 1948. The first postage stamps were issued two days lateron May 16, 1948 Pre-1948 postal history isdiscussed in postage stamps and postal history of PalestineHistorical context The postal history ofIsrael builds upon the centuries-long development of postal services inPalestine. During the rule of the Mamluks, mounted mail service was operated inDeir el-Balah, Lydda and other towns on the Cairo to Damascus route During the Ottoman period, postalservices relied upon Turkey\'s stamps (Palestine FAQ). Foreign consulates set upthe early post offices.During World War I, the British EgyptianExpeditionary Force occupied Palestine and demarcated stamps as\"E.E.F.\" in 1918. During the British mandate, postage stamps andservices were provided by British authorities. From 1933-1948, mandate servicesincluded airmail stamps and, as an innovation, British postal offices andoperations were, in part, turned over to the Israeli government In May 1948, as the Britishwithdrew and postal services broke down, the provisional government issuedoverprints on Jewish National Fund stamps and ad hoc postage was createdin Nahariya and Safed. Postal history In 1948, stamps wereissued by Israel Post the Israeli postal operator. Because Saturday is a day ofrest, Sunday, May 16, was the first business day after independence wasdeclared on which stamps could be sold The first set of stamps was entitled Doar Ivri (\"HebrewPost\") because the country\'s name had not yet been chosen. The first setof definitive stamps included values of 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 50, 250, 500, and1000 mils. The stamps were printed by letterpress, perforated or as a roulettedvariation, and with Israel\'s emblematic \"tabs\" with marginalia aboutthe stamp. Stamp booklets were issued for the 5, 10, 15 and 20 mil stamps.The Doar Ivri stamps were designedby Otte Wallish using ancient coins from the First Jewish-Roman War and later BarKochba revolt (as pictured at top of article). Israeli stamps aretrilingual, in Arabic, English and Hebrew, following the practice of the BritishMandate of Palestine (as required by the League of Nations). Israel Post firstissued postage due stamps, tete-beche and gutter pairs in 1948, airmail stampsin 1950, service stamps, for government offices, in 1951 and provisional stampsin 1960 The tabs have gone through three unofficial phases. From 1948 to 1954,the tabs were written in Hebrew (with four exceptions: the Maccabia, IsraelBonds, Zionist Congress and stamps). From 1954 until 1967, the inscriptionswere usually in ebrew and French. Since 1967, the tabs are typically Hebrew andEnglish. Rarely, a tab is matched with the wrong stamp, as with two mix-ups onsome DoarIvristamps.From the outset, Israel created its own commemorative cancellations,including a first day cancel for the new Doar Ivri on May 16, 1948, andcancels for the Maccabiah Games and its major cities the same year. By 1960,more than 325 unique postmarks had been designed. Beginning with the Doar Ivri stamps, too, Israelhas provided first day covers. For instance, on July 5, 1967, a first day coverfeaturing Moshe Dayan was issued from the new post office in Jerusalem, soonafter the Six Day War.Israel has 64 post offices in 1950, expanding to114 by 1960 and, after the Six Day War, to 178 branches by 1970. In 1955, twosettlements in the Negev began Israel\'s first mobile post office, a red truck.By 1990, Israel ran 53 routes for 1,058 locations, including Israelisettlements in the West Bank and Gaza.Due to hyperinflation, in 1982 and1984 Israel issued non-denominated stamps with an olive branch design. Thesestamps were said to be dreary yet convenient, insofar as they avoided the needfor both the government and the customers to constantly update their postage.Duringthe 1990s, Israel experimented with vending machines for postal labels(franking labels). The Klussendorf machines and their labels were withdrawnfrom service in 1999. Twenty-two colorful designs were issued, including 12tourist sites and seven holiday season designs. Israel Post also provides the ExpressMail Service in cooperation with 143 other postal suthorities.The IsraeliDefense Forces provides mail services for the military. During the 1973 YomKippur War, for example, the IDF postal agency issued a series of postcardswith cartoons to boost morale. Postcards show an Israeli cartoon characterlooming over Damascus, hail and fire raining down on Egyptian pyramids (quotingExodus 9:24), and \"Judgment Day, pictured here.\"Postagestamps In its early years, Israel issued stampspicturing the Jewish holidays, Jerusalem, Petah Tikva the Negev, the MaccabiahGames, and Independence bonds. Every year, Israel issues a festival series tocommemorate Rosh Hashanah. In 1948, the festival series featured the\"flying scrolls.\" In a self-reflective gesture,the postal authority also issued a souvenir sheet commemorating its own firststamps. In 1952, Israel issued its first stamp honoring a named person, ChaimWeizman. Other honorees of the 1950s included Theodore Herzl, Edmond deRothschild, Albert Einstein, Sholem Aleichem, Hayyim Nahman Bialik and EliezerBen-Yehuda. The first woman honored was Henrietta Szold (1960), the first rabbiwas the Baal Shem Tov (1961), and the first non-Jew was Eleanor Roosevelt(1964). In 1998, Israel was the first country to honor Chiune Sugihara, who hassince been honored on stamps from Gambia, Grenada, Guinea Japan, Liberia, Lithuania,and Sierra Leone. Stamps were issued in memory of two Arab. Of the 45 stampsdedicated to individual women, 11 concerned Biblical characters and eight wereof fighters: Haviva Reik, Hannah Szenes, Rachel Yanait Ben Zvi, Rivka Guber, ReneLevy, Zivia Lubetkin, Sarah Aaronsohn (pictured here), and an unnamed member ofthe Jewish brigade. Israeli stamps covergeneral themes, including philately itself, such as the 1954 stamp exhibitionin Jerusalem, as well as themes emblematic of the state, such as Judaism and Jewishhistory. For instance, in its first 40 years, nearly 10% of Israeli stampsincluded archeological motifs, for intellectual and ideological reasons.Thecountry produced a total of 110 new issues in the 1960s, 151 in the 1970s, 162in the 1980s and 216 in the 1990s. Israel Post produces several dozen newissues each year: 40 new issues in 2000, 33 in 2001, 50 in 2002, 46 in 2003, 38in 2004, 42 in 2005, 38 in 2006, and 44 in 2007. In 2008, new issues havehonored Israel Rokach and Akiva Aryeh Weiss, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites(The Biblical Tels and the Incense Route), and Mekoro (the national watersystem Joint issues Since its 1993 stampfor the 50th anniversary of Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, issued jointly with Poland,such joint issue stamps have been produced with other postal authorities and in1996, a joint Hanukkah stamp was issued with the United States, in miniaturesheet format. This was Israel\'s first self-adhesive stamp. On January 27, 2008,a joint issue with the United Nations debuted for the International HolocaustRemembrance Day. Stamps were also issued jointly with Germany (in 2005) tohonor their diplomatic relations, Austria and Hungary (2004, honoring TheodoreHerzl), Italy (2004, honoring the Great Synagogue of Rome), Georgia (in 2001,honoring Shota Rustaveli), and Hungary (in 2001, honoring the Dohány Synagogueof Budapest).Withdrawals Israel Post has beenforced on a number of occasions to withdraw certain stamps which caused concernin religious circles. In November 2006 a stamp bearing the Divine Name wastaken out of circulation over fear that it may be treated with disrespect.Similar action was taken over a series that depicted passages from the Talmud. Stamp collectingPhilatelyis popular among Israelis. The Israel Philatelic Federation lists two dozenstamp clubs, and 15 philatelic businesses throughout the small country. Thecountry has stamp fairs (using its own cancellation), annual souvenir sheets,postage exhibitions, philatelic journals, and catalogs (pictured). In 1998, theIsrael Post established the Postal and Philatelic Museum in Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv wasselected to host the 2008 World Stamp Championship under the auspices of the FédérationInternationale de Philatélie, the international organization for philately.Owing to sales to collectors, including those in the Jewish diaspora,philatelic items has been a considerable revenue stream for Israel\'s governmentand the Israeli post office is a client of the Inter-Governmental PhilatelicCorporation The Jewish National Fund(Hebrew: קרן קימת לישראל, Keren KayemetLeYisrael) (abbreviated as JNF, and sometimes KKL) was founded in 1901 tobuy and develop land in Ottoman Palestine (later British Mandate for Palestine,and subsequently Israel and the Palestinian territories) for Jewish settlement.The JNF is a quasi-governmental, non-profit organization.By 2007, it owned 13%of the total land in Israel.
