Israel Post’s Philatelic Service has released a commemorative stamp marking the 100th anniversary of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HUJI), the university said.
The stamp release is part of the institution’s year-long centennial celebrations in 2025 and highlights its role in higher education and international research.
Designed by the Israeli creative agency Studio Mench, the stamp features the Rothberg Amphitheatre on the Mount Scopus campus, which hosted the university’s official opening ceremony in 1925.
The artwork depicts the amphitheater overlooking the Judean Desert and the Edom Mountains, reflecting a connection between the university’s physical location in Jerusalem and its broader academic reach.
Founded in 1925 by figures including Albert Einstein, Chaim Weizmann, and Sigmund Freud, the Hebrew University has developed into a major research institution. In the 2025 Shanghai Ranking, HUJI placed 88th among the world’s top 100 universities.
Hebrew University marks 100 years of global research
Over the past century, the university has played a significant role in training Israel’s professional leadership, producing a large share of the country’s physicians, jurists, economists, and mathematicians.
University officials said the centennial marks both a reflection on past achievements, including ten Nobel Prizes and two Turing Awards, and a framework for future growth.
The university maintains hundreds of international research partnerships and operates Yissum, its technology-transfer company, which has commercialized thousands of innovations.
“For a hundred years, the Hebrew University has been home to individuals who challenge conventions and redefine boundaries,” a university representative said. “As we enter our second century, our mission remains to advance knowledge and foster the leadership necessary for a diverse society.”
The commemorative stamp is available at post offices across the country and through the Philatelic Service’s online store.
