The Israel Post, Israel’s national postal service, has issued a new stamp marking 100 years since the founding of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the university said on Tuesday.
The stamp was released by Israel Post’s Philatelic Service as part of the official events marking the university’s centenary throughout 2025.
Designed by Studio Mench, a leading Israeli creative agency, the stamp features the iconic amphitheater on the Mount Scopus campus, on the site of the university’s opening ceremony in 1925. The design looks out toward the Judean Desert and the Edom Mountains, linking the university’s historic origins to its physical and intellectual landscape.
The Hebrew University was founded by luminaries such as Albert Einstein. It is dedicated to advancing knowledge, cultivating leadership, and promoting diversity, according to the university.
Home to over 23,000 students from 90 countries, the institution is ranked as the world’s 88th top university, according to the Shanghai Ranking of 2025.
Moreover, its groundbreaking contributions have been recognized with major international awards, including 10 Nobel Prizes, two Turing Awards and a Fields Medal.
