The United States Postal Service (USPS) has issued its ninth commemorative stamp dedicated to Hanukkah, upholding its tradition of recognizing the eight-day Jewish holiday. The holiday is observed by millions of people in the United States and internationally.
The first-day-of-issue event for the stamp took place on August 28, 2026. The design of the stamp reflects the symbolism of Hanukkah, which centers on the theme of increasing light against darkness, a core aspect of the celebration.
