This Israeli postage stamp, issued in 1978 with a face value of 5.40 Israeli Lira, depicts the Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem. The artwork features the hospital’s modern high-rise structure rising behind its original 19th-century stone building, symbolizing the integration of heritage and progress in healthcare. Founded in 1902, Shaare Zedek is one of Israel’s leading medical institutions, renowned for its advanced facilities and compassionate care. The design highlights the architectural contrast between old and new, reflecting Jerusalem’s evolving urban landscape. A meaningful issue for collectors of medical and architectural themes.
