The United States Postal Service’s new Hanukkah stamp celebrates the holiday with an image of a hanukkiah, the nine-branch candelabra used on Hanukkah.
Designed by art director and stamp designer Antonio Alcalá, the image was created in ink; the irregular lines of the design are intended to portray a more human presence. Alcalá digitally added an ocean blue background and a white hanukkiah. The nine flames are illustrated in yellow.
The Hanukkah 2024 stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
The last celebrated release of a Hanukkah stamp was in 2022, featuring the work of American Judaica artist Jeanette Kuvin Oren.
