The Jewish National Fund has issued two new stamps honoring Nobel Prize-winning Israeli author, the late Shmuel Yosef (Shai) Agnon. A 25-agora stamp bears the author’s portrait and a 50-agora stamp shows him in his library. The stamps will be available in Israel and abroad to collectors of Judaica and JNF stamps. Jewish schools will affix the stamps to winter term report cards.
