All eight of the Hanukkah candles have been lit, and the child is reaching up to replace the shamash, the helper candle used to light the others in the menorah. Art director Ethel Kessler designed the stamp with original art by Jing Jing Tsong. Choice of New Rochelle for the First Day of Issue for the Hanukkah stamp is timely.

The week runs Oct. 23-31 and coincides with National Substance Abuse Prevention Month every October. Red Ribbon Week was started after the death of Drug Enforcement Administration special agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who was tortured and murdered in 1985 by drug traffickers he was investigating in Mexico. After Camarena’s death, people started wearing red ribbons to honor Kiki’s sacrifice. The Drug Free USA Forever stamp art features a white star with lines of red, light blue and blue radiating from one side of each of the star’s five points, intended to suggest the unity necessary at all levels to effectively address drug abuse. #philately #philatelic #stampcollecting #mystamp #drugenforcementadministration #philatelie #drugfreeusa https://www.instagram.com/p/CNk2ThTrt6C/?igshid=1b9k86b3jwvrr
