Celebrate Hanukkah, the eight-day Festival of Lights, with this vibrant booklet of 10 PermanentTM domestic rate stamps. The stamps feature a menorah with all candles illuminated.
Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Temple of Jerusalem around 165 BCE. Tradition dictated that the Temple menorah was to burn continuously, but only one day’s supply of fuel was left. Miraculously, it lasted for the eight days required to harvest, press and transport a fresh supply of oil.
This miracle of light and faith is celebrated every year through the lighting of a hanukkiyah, or menorah – a candelabra with a row of eight candles or oil holders. Each evening, Jewish families kindle an additional light using the shamash (helper candle), while reciting blessings and special prayers.

This brilliant new stamp issue shines a light on Hanukkah, the eight-day Festival of Lights, which this year begins at nightfall on December 10.
Derived from the Hebrew word for dedication, Hanukkah celebrates the miracle that took place following the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem – Judaism’s holiest site – after the Jewish people reclaimed it from their oppressors around 165 BCE. The victors found only one day’s worth of oil for the Temple menorah, which was required to remain lit at all times. Yet the sacred light burned for eight days, until the new oil supply arrived.
To commemorate this extraordinary occurrence, Jewish families kindle an eight-branched candelabra called a hanukkiyah, or menorah, adding a light each evening while reciting special prayers and blessings. Many place the hanukkiyah in a window to share the miracle with the world.
Designed by Gerald Querubin at Ent ro Communications, the stamp features rich yellow tones to illuminate your Hanukkah greetings.
