COOPER Israel New Year Stamps Issued By MOSS FAIRMONT World Zionist Press Service JERUSALEM — It has become a tradition for the Israel Post Office to issue a special series of stamps each year in honor of the festivals of Rosh Hashana and Suk- kot. The first such set was is- sued on September 26, 1948, following the famous defini- tive "Doar Ivri" stamps. The set comprised five stamps with a common design of a "Flying Scroll" found on 111 • -11,- history and culture, the land of Israel, etc. This year's festival stamps are devoted to the biblical hero, Joshua, who had the privilege of leading the children of Israel into the Promised Land. On the IS 1.50 stamp, Joshua and the children of Israel are depicted after the Lord had spoken to Joshua and bid him "Be strong and of good courage, for thou shalt cause thy people to inherit the land which I swore unto Mir V, Tir Valley of Aijalon," "the sun stood still and the moon stayed, until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies."

In order to ensure as wide a postal use as possible of the festival stamps, the de- nominations chosen were those appropriate to the mailing of a greeting card within Israel, to Europe and to North America — a prin- ciple which has been fol- lowed ever since. It is interesting to com- pare the face value of that 1948 set with that of the 1982 issue, 103 prutot then, 24 shekels today — almost 2,400 times as much! In dollars we have approximately $1 for the latest set as against $.40 in 1948, which gives us a more meaningful com- parison. This year's issue, which portrays various incidents in the life of Joshua, is the 34th set of festival stamps which have covered a very wide range of subjects, all related to Jewish religion, their fathers to give unto them." The IS 5.50 stamp shows the Ark of the Covenant being carried over the River Jordan as the children of Israel "passed over on dry ground." The IS 7.50 stamp brings to life the story familiar to millions of men, women and chil- dren all over the world — the children of Israel standing beforce the walls of the fortified city of Jericho which crumble to the ground as Joshua blows the horn and "the people raised a great sh- out." The fourth stamp of the series — the IS 9.50 value — symbolizes the miracle of the cessation of time during Joshua's battle against the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Yarmuth, Lachish and Ag- lon, when, in answer to Joshua's prayer, "Sun, stand thou still upon Gi- beon, and thou, Moon, in the Anti-Semitic Rulers Upset With Jewish In-Laws Anti-Semitic leaders who choose to spurn Jews in pub- lic are sometimes involved in entanglements with Jewish people in their pri- vate lives. Nicolai Ceacescu, the new .dictator of Romania is said to be furious because his son recently married a Jewish woman. The Ceacescu situation is not without precedent.

Stalin's daughter, Svet- lana, created quite a stir when she became roman- tically involved with a Jewish actor named Kap- lan. Stalin eventually had Kaplan sent to a slave camp in Siberia.
