USPS Honors Hanukkah with New Dreidel Stamp

On September 29, 2026, the United States Postal Service (USPS) announced the release of a new stamp celebrating Hanukkah, featuring a colorful dreidel. This stamp is part of USPS’s ongoing commitment to honor cultural diversity and the traditions of various communities across the nation.

The dreidel is a traditional spinning top used during Hanukkah, symbolizing the Jewish holiday's themes of faith and perseverance. The design of the stamp showcases a beautifully illustrated dreidel with vibrant colors, embodying the joy and spirit of the festival. The stamp was unveiled at a special ceremony held in a Jewish community center, highlighting its significance to the Jewish community.

USPS has a long-standing tradition of releasing stamps that reflect the rich tapestry of American culture, and this new issue is no exception. The Hanukkah stamp joins a series of other holiday stamps, which aim to celebrate different cultural festivities throughout the year.

In his remarks during the unveiling, a USPS representative emphasized the importance of recognizing and celebrating diversity through stamps, stating, "Our stamps tell the stories of America, capturing the essence of our nation’s diverse heritage and traditions. The Hanukkah dreidel stamp is a beautiful representation of this rich culture and we are proud to honor it."

Customers can purchase the new dreidel stamp at post offices and online through the USPS website. The stamp is available in sheets, and collectors are encouraged to add it to their holiday-themed collections.
