• Israel. Mourning Dr. Weizmann's Death Issues Memorial Stamp - Plan to Reconstruct Jerusalem Hillel Building els a 3 atvisht , Israel, mourning the loss of Dr. Chaim Weizmann, its first President, will honor his mem- ory with a special commemora- tive stamp issue to be issued in December after the close of the thirty-day period of mourning. Two stamps, a 30 pr. gray, and 110 pr. blue, show his portrait in profile, facing the Presidential standard. By featuring Dr. Weizmann, Israel has, for a second time, broken with custom and por- trayed a personality on a stamp. The first occasion was at the opening of the 23rd World Zion- ist Congress in Jerusalem hon- oring the 'memory of Theodor Herzl. Because of Dr. Weizmann's de- votion to the establishment of a Jewish homeland, the state of Israel has re-emerged and taken its, seat among the states of the world in the United Nations— and one of the ways that Israel has chosen to honor the United Nations is through stamp issues. When Israel, for example, was admitted to the International Postal Union on March 26, 1950 —a day marking also the 75th anniversary of the Union—the young state commemorated the occasion by the issuance of a special commemorative envelope, picturing the globe of the earth entwined by a long narrow rib- bon composed of the multi-col- ored flags of the sixty' member nations of the UN. The ribbon starting above the globe (imprinted at the left side of the envelope) with the flag of Israel. and encirclirig the earth five times and then extending along the bottom of the en- velope, rising at the extreme left towards the two commemorative stamps, showing the biblical Zvi, or antelope, leaping from the earth, winds up with the Ameri- can flag. Other Israel issues honoring the United Nations include tho State's admittance to the world organization on May 12, 1949; World Health Day and United NatiOns Day. Hanukah Customs Hanukah Candles We celebrate Hanukah by lighting candles every evening4 during the holiday. On the first evening one candle is lit; on the second evening two candles are lit; on the third, three candles are lit; and so, on up to the eighth evening, on . which eight candles are lit. The lighting of the candles is done in the following manner: The person who is to perform the ceremony lights the Sham- ash (the serving candle) and then recites the blessings, while lighting the candles. The bless- ings are followed by the 'chant- ing of "Hanerot Hallalu" and "Maoz Tzur" (Rock of Ages). * '* Queen Elizabeth Is Patron Of Christian-Jews Council Httnukah Gelt (Hanukah money) There are three reasons for MANCHESTER, England, giving the children "Hanukah (JTA)—Queen Elizabeth II has Gelt."
