The
latest BDS Fail will have the Israel haters going postal
This years Hanukkah stamp will be offered as a joint issue
with Israel, with an Oct. 16 ceremony in Newport, R.I. It is based on a
beautiful paper-cut design by Tamar Fishman.
“Fishman
made a pencil sketch of the design then cut the two-dimensional image on white
paper with a fine blade. She chose blue-purple and green papers for the
background to highlight the central design. Behind the menorah is a shape
reminiscent of an ancient oil jug that represents the heart of the Hanukkah
miracle. Additional design elements include dreidels — spinning tops used to
play a children’s game during the holiday — and a pomegranate plant with fruit
and flowers.”
The
stamp designer is USPS art director Ethel Kessler
