Issued by Israel in 1977, this 4.00-lira commemorative stamp celebrates the 400th anniversary of the Safed Yeshiva “Kolel Yaakov”, one of the earliest and most influential centers of Jewish learning in the Galilee. The design reproduces an ornate historical document frame in fine black linework, echoing the decorative manuscripts produced in Safed during the 16th–17th centuries. Hebrew inscriptions detail the institution’s legacy, surrounded by a gold border that emphasizes the manuscript aesthetic. This issue is prized by Judaica collectors for its cultural significance and its detailed reproduction of early Jewish art traditions.
