The first stamps of Israel A block of four of the 1948 3 mils value from the first series of Israeli stamps. The postage stamps and postal history of Israel is a survey of the postage stamps issued by the state of Israel, and its postal history, since independence was proclaimed on May 14, 1948. The first postage stamps were issued two days later on May 16, 1948.[1] Pre-1948 postal history is discussed in postage stamps and postal history of Palestine.

During the rule of the Mamluks, mounted mail service was operated in Deir al-Balah, Lydda and other towns on the Cairo to Damascus route.[2]During the Ottoman period, postal services relied upon Turkey's stamps (Palestine FAQ). Foreign consulates set up the early post offices.[3] During World War I, the British Egyptian Expeditionary Force occupied Palestine and demarcated stamps as "E.E.F." in 1918. During the British Mandate, postage stamps and services were provided by British authorities. At first using temporary stamps issued in February 1918 by the British Expeditionary Forces in Palestine, and in February 1920 issuing permanent stamps bearing the imprint: "Palestine Eretz Israel." From 1933 to 1948, mandate services included airmail stamps[4] and, as an innovation, air letter cards. British postal offices and operations were, in part, turned over to the Israeli government.[5] In May 1948, as the British withdrew and postal services broke down, the provisional government issued overprints on Jewish National Fund stamps and ad hoc postage was created in Nahariya and Safed. Postal history[edit] Imprinted stamp for 6 ag. on a postal card from 1968, showing the old logo (1949-2006) of Israel Post In 1948, stamps were issued by Israel Post the Israeli postal operator. Because Saturday is a day of rest, Sunday, May 16, was the first business day after independence was declared on which stamps could be sold.[6] The first set of stamps was entitled Doar Ivri ("Hebrew Post") because the country's name had not yet been chosen.[7] The first set of definitive stampsincluded values of 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 50, 250, 500, and 1000 mils. The stamps were printed by letterpress, perforated or as a rouletted variation, and with Israel's emblematic "tabs" with marginalia about the stamp. Stamp booklets were issued for the 5, 10, 15 and 20 mil stamps.[8] The Doar Ivri stamps were designed by Otte Wallish using ancient coins from the First Jewish–Roman War and later Bar Kokhba revolt (as pictured at top of article). Israeli stamps are trilingual, in Arabic, English and Hebrew, following the practice of the British Mandate of Palestine (as required by the League of Nations). Israel Post first issued postage due stamps, tête-bêche and gutter pairs in 1948, airmail stamps in 1950, service stamps, for government offices, in 1951 and provisional stamps in 1960.[9] The tabs have gone through three unofficial phases. From 1948 to 1954, the tabs were written in Hebrew (with four exceptions: the Maccabia, Israel Bonds, Zionist Congress and Z.O.A. stamps). From 1954 until 1967, the inscriptions were usually in Hebrew and French. Since 1967, the tabs are typically Hebrew and English. Rarely, a tab is matched with the wrong stamp, as with two mix-ups on some Doar Ivri stamps.[10] From the outset, Israel created its own commemorative cancellations, including a first day cancel for the new Doar Ivri on May 16, 1948, and cancels for the Maccabiah Games and its major cities the same year.[11] By 1960, more than 325 unique postmarks had been designed.[12] Beginning with the Doar Ivri stamps, too, Israel has provided first day covers. For instance, on July 5, 1967, a first day cover featuring Moshe Dayan was issued from the new post office in Jerusalem, soon after the Six-Day War.[13] Israel has 64 post offices in 1950, expanding to 114 by 1960 and, after the Six-Day War, to 178 branches by 1970.[14] In 1955, two settlements in the Negev began Israel's first mobile post office, a red truck. By 1990, Israel ran 53 routes for 1,058 locations, including Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza.[15] Due to hyperinflation, in 1982 and 1984 Israel issued non-denominated stamps with an olive branch design. These stamps were said to be dreary yet convenient, insofar as they avoided the need for both the government and the customers to constantly update their postage.[16] During the 1990s, Israel experimented with vending machines for postal labels (franking labels). The Klussendorf machines and their labels were withdrawn from service in 1999. Twenty-two colorful designs were issued, including 12 tourist sites and seven holiday season designs.[17] Israel Post also provides the Express Mail Service in cooperation with 143 other postal suthorities.[18] The Israel Defense Forces provide mail services for the military. During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, for example, the IDF postal agency issued a series of postcardswith cartoons to boost morale. Postcards show an Israeli cartoon character looming over Damascus, hail and fire raining down on Egyptian pyramids (quoting Exodus9:24), and "Judgment Day, pictured here."[19] Postage stamps[edit] In its early years, Israel issued stamps picturing the Jewish holidays, Jerusalem, Petah Tikva, the Negev, the Maccabiah Games, and Independence bonds. Every year, Israel issues a festival series to commemorate Rosh Hashanah. In 1948, the festival series featured the "flying scrolls."[20] In a self-reflective gesture, the postal authority also issued a souvenir sheet commemorating its own first stamps. In 1952, Israel issued its first stamp honoring a named person, Chaim Weizmann. Other honorees of the 1950s included Theodor Herzl, Edmond de Rothschild, Albert Einstein, Sholem Aleichem, Hayim Nahman Bialik and Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. The first woman honored was Henrietta Szold (1960), the first rabbi was 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 has since been honored on stamps from Gambia, Grenada, Guinea, Japan, Liberia, Lithuania, and Sierra Leone.[21] Stamps were issued in memory of two Arab leaders, King Hassan II of Morocco and King Hussein of Jordan, in 2000. Researchers at Emory University found that, through 2005, 161 Israeli stamps deal with women, though most do so anonymously. Of the 45 stamps dedicated to individual women, 11 concerned Biblical characters and eight were of fighters: Haviva Reik, Hannah Szenes, Rachel Yanait Ben Zvi, Rivka Guber, Rene Levy, Zivia Lubetkin, Sarah Aaronsohn, and an unnamed member of the Jewish Brigade.[22] Israeli stamps cover general themes, including philately itself, such as the 1954 stamp exhibition in Jerusalem, as well as themes emblematic of the state, such as Judaism and Jewish history. For instance, in its first 40 years, nearly 10% of Israeli stamps included archeological motifs, for intellectual and ideological reasons.[23] The country produced a total of 110 new issues in the 1960s, 151 in the 1970s, 162 in the 1980s and 216 in the 1990s.[24] Israel Post produces several dozen new issues each year: 40 new issues in 2000, 33 in 2001, 50 in 2002, 46 in 2003, 38 in 2004, 42 in 2005, 38 in 2006, and 44 in 2007. In 2008, new issues have honored Israel Rokach and Akiva Aryeh Weiss, two UNESCO World Heritage Sites (The Biblical Tels and the Incense Route), and Mekorot (the national water system). 2008 Israeli postage stamp for Holocaust Remembrance Day, part of a joint philatelic issue with the United Nations Postal Administration. Joint issues[edit] Since its 1993 stamp for the 50th anniversary of Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, issued jointly with Poland,[25] such joint issuestamps have been produced with other postal authorities and in 1996, a joint Hanukkah stamp was issued with the United States, in miniature sheet format. This was Israel's first self-adhesive stamp. On January 27, 2008, a joint issue with the United Nations debuted for International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Stamps were also issued jointly with Germany (in 2005) to honor their diplomatic relations, Austria and Hungary (2004, honoring Theodore Herzl), Italy (2004, honoring the Great Synagogue of Rome), Georgia (in 2001, honoring Shota Rustaveli), and Hungary (in 2001, honoring the Dohány Synagogue of Budapest).[26] Withdrawals[edit] Israel Post has been forced on a number of occasions to withdraw certain stamps which caused concern in religious circles. In November 2006 a stamp bearing the Divine Name was taken 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.[27] Israeli stamp collecting[edit] The Israel Philatelic Federation lists 12 stamp clubs,[30] and 11 philatelic businesses in Israel.[31] The country has stamp fairs (using its own cancellation), annual souvenir sheets, postage exhibitions, philatelic journals, and catalogs (pictured). In 1998, the Israel Post established the Postal and Philatelic Museum in Tel Aviv.[3][32]Tel Aviv was selected to host the 2008 World Stamp Championship under the auspices of the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie, the international organization for philately. Collecting stamps of broadly Jewish interest, forming topical Judaica collections, is a hobby of philatelists everywhere. While the sources listed in the previous paragraph catalogue Israeli stamps, there is no central catalogue of topical Judaica stamps. There is, however, the Judaica Topical Association and Judaica Topical News. Emory University in Atlanta (GA, USA) created an ongoing database for both Israeli and topical Judaica stamps rooted in, but not limited to, its own Sol Singer Collection of Philatelic Judaica http://marbl.library.emory.edu/findingaids/browse_results?q=findingaids/content&id=singer909_10823. The database, composed of downloadable “stampcharts” and articles of philatelic interest http://www.js.emory.edu/BLUMENTHAL/Philatlely.html, is available to the public and Emory University welcomes comments Owing to sales to collectors, including those in the Jewish diaspora, philatelic items has been a considerable revenue stream for Israel's government[33] and the Israeli post office is a client of the Inter-Governmental Philatelic Corporation  *******  The beginning of aviation in the Holy Land     Issue: April 1985 Designer: D.

Method of printing: Photolithography 1913 - Bleriot XI The years preceding World War I were years when flying history was made. One of such "First Flight Adventures" took place when the Paris newspaper "Le Matin", in co-operation with the French Flying Club, offered a prize to the flyer who was the "First" on a flight from Paris to Peking. However, the route was changed because of the great risks involved in such a long flight and Cairo (Egypt) became the destination the French pilots made for - in two different ways - one by way of North Africa, the other via South-Eastern Europe, Turkey and Palestine. The team Doucourt-Roux left for Turkey from Paris on October 21st, 1913 and should have got to Palestine in the course of their flight; however, they never made it because their plane crashed at the foot of the Taurus Mountains on November 26th. French air-ace of the time, Jules Vedrines followed after them on the way to the Holy Land and to Egypt, and even intended to go on from there to India and Australia. He left Paris in November in a "Bleriot Xl" plane, caused a diplomatic incident at the German border, was shot at when passing over Yugoslavia and landed at Istanbul on December 3rd, 1913. After being feted and wined there, he flew to Beirut from where he departed on December 27th, 1913 for Miqwe Yisrael near Tel Aviv. There, the "First International Airport in Palestine" (having originally been prepared for Doucourt) was ready for him. However, strong wings forced the plane off its route and, as he did not have enough fuel for such an eventuality, he had to land on the beach near Tel Aviv. Needless to say the crowds who had waited in vain for his arrival at Miqwe Yisrael, were bitterly disappointed. When forced down at Tel Aviv, the plane's under-carriage was damaged but could be repaired speedily. Next day. December 28th, V6drines flew to Miqwe Yisrael where his arrival was officially celebrated. The following day he departed for Cairo and promised that on his return, by way of India, he would land at Jerusalem. However, two days after V6drines' departure, on December 31st, 1913 two other French flyers, Bonnier and Barnier landed their Nieuport plane there and thereby became the first "Air-Pilgrims" to visit the Holy City.  top 1931 - Scipio-short S-17 kent When, in 1924, British airlines combined and founded "Imperial Airways", the purpose was to connect the various countries in the British Empire with one another. In 1931 the Company decided to start flights between Croyden airport, near London, and India, by way of what was then Palestine. On this regular flight sea-planes as well as ordinary-type aircraft were used. On October 21st, 1931 ,in the early morning hours the first of these planes, a Scipio-Short Sea-plane landed on Lake Galilee. Passengers were taken from Tiberias to Zemach airfield, on the southern shore of the Lake, and continued their flight from there on a regular plane via Baghdad. After one of the sea-planes crashed in 1942, because of stormy weather, landings on Lake Galilee were discontinued. "Imperial Airways" sea-planes then landed on the Dead Sea and in Haifa Bay.  top 1934 - Tiger Moth - DH-82 The de-Havilland DH-82A Tiger-Moth was the first aircraft purchased by the official Jewish institutions in Palestine in 1934, when attempts were made to establish a joint Jewish-British-Arab Flying Club, the "Flying Camel". Although this attempt failed, a follow-up club, the Palestine Flying Club (later to become the Aero Club of Israel) was set up as a wholly Jewish organisation backed by the "Haganah" and other Jewish national institutions. Later that year a decision was taken to acquire a de-Havilland Tiger-Moth biplane for basic flight instruction. Powered by a single de-Havilland Gipsy-Major Mk. 1 engine, supplying 130 hp., this was able to reach a maximum speed of 175 km/h and a maximum range of some 490 kilometres. The DH-82A is 7.5 m long and has a 9 m long wingspan. It was directly developed from the DH-60T Moth and first flown at Martlesham in England in September 1931. Soon the new aircraft gained a reputation as being a highly successful design and it went into regular use with the Royal Air Force and with private civil flying schools in the British Isles. In the autumn of 1934, a group of Palestine officials who dealt with immigration matters in Poland met with David Ben-Gurion, Head of the Jewish Agency, and obtained the necessary funds to acquire the Tiger-Moth, which arrived in October that year, flown by a British instructo-pilot named Grey. Registered under British marks G-ACYN and carrying serial number 3314, it began flying within the "Aviron" flying-school in 1936. Apart from being used as a civil trainer, G-ACYN was also used for military spotting purposes as well as national defence missions such as protecting groups of workers who were engaged in road and building construction in remote locations. In addition, the aircraft dropped essential supplies of food and ammunition to settlers, especially in the harsh winter periods. Such support missions were frequently flown to the newly established settlements of Negb~, Hulda and Hanita. In March 1938, the aircraft inaugurated the new landing strip near the Sedom Potash works. By the end of 1938 it was decided to enter the aircraft on the Palestine Civil Aircraft Register under the marks VO-PAN. However, this was abandoned following its crash in mid-1939 on a hill near the Afiqim Airstrip in the Jordan Valley. In December 1939 its registration expired and parts from the wreck taken from the site were used at Aviron Base at Afiqim.  top 1937 - Scion-short S-16 In December 1934, the founder of the Naharaim Electricity Plant, Mr. Pinchas Ruttenberg, registered the first Palestine commercial airline - "Palestine Airways" - in London. With an initial capital of £20,000 - the company acquired a couple of British-made Short Scion 5-1 6, 6-seaters powered by two Pobjoy Niagara Ill engines with an output of 90 hp, which developed a maximum speed of 206 km/h over a maximum range of 630 kms. In August 1937 the Company began operations with a daily Lod-Haifa service, extended later that year to Beirut, Lebanon, thus inaugurating its first international service. The two Scion aircraft (registration letters VO-PAA and VO-PAB) were soon transferred to the newly-constructed airfield of Tel Aviv (later named Sde Dov Hoz), north of the Yarkon river. With the acquisition of additional aircraft from Britain, "Palestine Airways" moved its entire operation from Lod airport to Sde-Dov. Apart from operating the scheduled services to Haifa and Beirut, it also undertook charter and air-taxi flights as well as the very popular sightseeing flights, particularly favoured by youngsters. With the outbreak of World War II, Palestine Airways ceased operations and in August 1940 its planes were impounded by the Royal Air Force for use as transport and communication aircraft.     ebay4432
