I found these gorgeous Israeli stamps on a great blog,
Words and Eggs. They were issued in 1972 to celebrate the countries rise in educational standards and illustrate stages of education (above - top to bottom):
Elementary school -
"The beginning of wisdom is this: get wisdom..." (Proverbs 4:7)Secondary school -
"Train upon a child in the way he should go..." (Proverbs 22:6)Vocational training -
"... but all study of the law without labor comes to naught at the last..." (Pirkei Aboth 2)Academic training - "...but you shall meditate on it day and night..."
(Joshua 1:8)Big thanks to
Kickcan & Conkers for pointing us to this great blog.
