Issued by Israel in 1978, this 5.40 Israeli lira stamp commemorates the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem. The design strikingly contrasts the hospital’s modern glass towers with the historic stone façade of the original building, symbolizing the blending of tradition and progress in Israeli healthcare. Printed in clear architectural lines, it highlights one of Jerusalem’s most important institutions of public service. A must-have for collectors of medical themes, Israeli commemoratives, or architectural stamps, this issue reflects both civic pride and cultural heritage.
