Israel - Token "Send my people" - Minting mistake, Off-center - Rare
The events taking place in Israel, since the establishment of the State, were closely followed by the masses of Russian Jewry. However, the Jewish awareness was perceptibly increased by the Six-Day War. The fear for the fate of a State fighting for its very existence vanished as a result of Israel's victory. A feeling of pride straightened the backs of the Russian Jews in their hostile environment. In various parts of Russia groups were formed to study Hebrew and the history of the Jewish people. The awakening of Jewish feelings turned into an open national movement and the "Movement for Emigration to Israel" assumed the leadership.
