This 1.30 Israeli pound stamp, issued in 1976, celebrates the artwork “Dancers of Meron” by Reuven Rubin (1893–1974), one of Israel’s most renowned painters. The vibrant design depicts joyous Hasidic men dancing in a circle at Meron, a spiritual site in the Galilee associated with the annual Lag BaOmer pilgrimage. Rubin’s distinct style—characterized by warm earthy tones, expressive faces, and folkloric symbolism—captures both mystical devotion and the vitality of early Israeli art. This stamp forms part of Israel’s long-running series honoring national artists and cultural heritage.
