Two yuds make "ey" and two yuds with an underline make "eye" if my Yiddish isn't confused. I keep garbling out "eylnfk". I'm so intrigued by this thread

I still think that this is some kid playing with a rubber stamp kit or the like. The presence of other cancels make that even more likely. BUT... if real, it would be a fragment of a phrase. If you break it up into three separate sets, it would spell G-D Dwell with the last two letters being a commonly used contraction for Here [in the] community. So the entire thing would could be a pious wish 'G-D Dwell Here [in the] community' with the end (IE name of the community) presumably missing. Kind of thing that makes senses to have on a cancellation. Similar to the other local booster slogans on cancellations.
But I still think that this is some kid playing with a rubber stamp kit or the like.

Surprised me how many Hebrew reader there are on this board!

A previous reply https://goscf.com/t/86077#798043 showed the complete Hebrew alphabet (22 letters) on the 2001 Israeli issue, still on sale in the Post Office to this day (2024)!

In the Hebrew alphabet, 5 letters have a different form when they are at the end of a word. In 2001 Israel issued a miniature sheet (no longer on sale) with the 5 final letters, 2 of each in the sheet:

These are postally used.
