The 2016 Chanukah stamp will be issued on Tuesday, Nov. 1. The First Day Ceremony will be held at Temple Beth El in Boca Raton, Florida.

"This is the first time, I believe, such a ceremony for a Chanukah stamp has been held in a Temple," said Ronald Scheiman, founder of The Quest for Annual Hanukkah Stamps.

This design is only the sixth new design since the first Chanukah stamp was issued in 1996.

If your local post office does not have the stamp at any time on/or after Nov. 2, please let Scheiman know immediately at hanukkah@att.net.
