The Israel Philatelic Federation and the Society of Israel Philatelists have joined together to create the Israel 75 Philatelic Academy. The Academy is intended to promote all aspects of Holy Land Philately and to enhance the knowledge of collectors worldwide. This will be done with virtual philatelic lectures during April 2023 and the display of philatelic exhibits.
A designated website (www.israel75.org.il) will be operative as of March 27th. The website will contain 20 philatelic exhibits, encompassing 100 exhibition frames. The exhibits will not be judged – they will simply be on display for collectors to view and learn.
