The Jewish World In Stamps: 4000 Years Of
Jewish Civilization On Postage Stamps by
Ronald L. Eisenberg is an amazing, full-color,
288 page volume that meticulously reproduces
postage stamps portraying events and people
throughout the whole of Jewish history.
The Jewish World In Stamps ranges from biblical
stories such as the tale of Esther, to the
Diaspora, to rise of Zionism and establishment
of the state of Israel, to Jewish traditions
and values, to World Jewish Communities,
to modern-day Jewish entertainers such as
Groucho Marx. |
| Succinct
entries flesh out the background detail
on the individual or story represented by
each stamp, and the color illustrations
are the next best thing to having an international
stamp collection of one's own. The Jewish
World In Stamps is an exciting and seminal
work that makes both the world of stamp
collecting and Jewish history itself come
alive. |

Historical
context
The postal history of Israel builds upon the centuries-long
development of postal services in Palestine. During
the rule of the Mamluks, mounted mail service was
operated in Deir el-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. From 1933-1948, 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.
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. |
