Pictures of the new Gush Katif Documentation Center and new Israeli Postal Stamp

Hi Everyone!

On Wednesday, July 2, 2008, the Gush Katif Documentation Center was opened in Nitzan.

Unique documents, pictures and materials from 35 years of settlement were presented to the public for the first time.

At the ceremony, the public was shown the design of the Gush Katif stamp that will be issued officially by the Israel Postal Service on July 14, 2008.

I took pictures of the new documentation center, the artist gallery, the historical picture exhibit about Gush Katif and the ceremony.

I also purchased and scanned the souvenir album with the new stamp. The stamp should be available at most local post offices in Israel on July 14.

I posted the pictures at:
