From Trip Advisor…

amm101 said, “If you know Hebrew it can help to write the address in Hebrew as well. Although English is fine writing it in Hebrew could speed it up by day once the envelope gets to Israel.”

jon-dan said, “I’ve had dozens of letters from the USA go via an address in Illinois because of similar zip code there.

Normally a letter should be delivered within 5-7 days.”

…That whole zip code thing is a good point. If it’s in Hebrew, then at least the postal employees have more indications that this envelope is going to Israel.

—At the same time, hopefully they know right away that it’s going out of the country when the envelop has a Global Forever Stamp.
