Israel on an Envelope

Bahai Temple, Haifa

With all the advances in communications technology, sending letters though the mail is not so popular anymore. Nonetheless, a look at some of a country's postage stamps can offer an interesting view of the things that are important to it.

The Knesset - Israel's Parliament

Religion, democracy, the desire for peace, historical roots, education: All of these are themes that you can't get away from in Israel - even when you drop a letter in the mailbox.

The Kotel

Highway to Peace

Hebrew University, Mt. Scopus

Land of 3 religions
