Item Description

Stamps of Israel 2021 - Festivals 2021- All Streams Flow Into The Sea.  Many Jewish communities read the Book of Ecclesiastes in synagogue during the Sukkoth festival. According to Jewish tradition, King Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes, which begins with the words “The words of Koheleth son of David, king in Jerusalem”, as well as the Song of Songs and Proverbs. These three books are all very different and the traditional explanation is that King Solomon wrote each one at a different stage of his life. In his youth, Solomon wrote the optimistic Song of Songs, which is filled with descriptions of love, as an adult the wise king wrote Proverbs and toward the end of his days, the enlightened Solomon wrote Ecclesiastes, which focuses on a harsh message: “Utter futility! – said Koheleth – Utter futility! All is futile!” This is the theme of the three stamps in the series.

The second stamp presents the natural world that surrounds humankind. Koheleth opines that there is nothing new in nature either, and that the constant happenings simply repeat themselves. “All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full; to the place from which they flow the streams flow back again”.   Attention!
