2020 USPS Hanukkah Forever Stamps 100Pcs/Pack

This new stamp celebrates the joyous Jewish holiday of Hanukkah. The stamp art’s colorful digital illustration shows the lighting of the nine-branched Hanukkah menorah on the last evening of the holiday. All eight of the Hanukkah candles have been lit, and the child is reaching up to replace the shamash, the helper candle used to light the others in the menorah. Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp with original art by Jing Jing Tsong.

Choice of New Rochelle for the First Day of Issue for the Hanukkah stamp is timely. After a synagogue in New Rochelle was designated as a possible source of a Covid-19 outbreak in early March, the citizens of the town and surrounding Westchester towns pulled together to help stop the outbreak.
