Czech Republic – 2021 Israel-Czech Joint Issue – Tomas Garrigue Masaryk. Designed by the Israeli art designer David Ben-Hador, the mosaic depicts an artistic representation of the Kfar Masaryk kibbutz, named in honor of Tomáš Garrigue. This stamp is published on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the renewal of Czech-Israeli diplomatic relations. Tomás Garrigue Masaryk was the first head of state to visit Mandatory Palestine in 1927. Soon after its establishment in 1918, Czechoslovakia was among the few countries to recognise Jewish nationality. This was a result of the personal involvement of Czechoslovak President Tomás Garrigue Masaryk and the attitude of Czech intellectuals who empathised with the Jewish struggle for independence after the successful fight for their own national recognition. After World War II, Czechoslovakia very effectively supported the establishment of the State of Israel. Minister of Foreign Affairs Jan Masaryk used a great deal of diplomacy towards achieving this aim at the United Nations. Kfar Masaryk is a kibbutz formed by Jewish immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Lithuania as a fortified Jewish settlement in 1938. In 1940, the kibbutz was moved to its current place and renamed Kfar Masaryk in memory of the first Czechoslovak President, Tomás Garrigue Masaryk. The stamp is identified with the letter “Z,” corresponding to the current price of the international priority service
