Miami to Host Hanukkah Stamp FDOI

 

Miami will be the location of the First-Day-Of-Issue (FDOI) for the 2016 Hanukkah stamp. Preliminary plans, including site selection, are underway. The ceremony will take place in late October or early November.

The Hanukkah stamp features a holiday menorah in the window of a home. Artist William Low added visual interest to the scene by highlighting the contrast between the hot candles flames and the cool snow, the vertical candles and the horizontal window frame, and the dark menorah with brightly lit candles. Bhel Kessler was the art director.
