Menachem Begin's Signature on an Envelope bearing the Stamp of the "Constituent Assembly," 1949
Postal envelope, with postage stamps inscribed "Do'ar Ivri" ["Hebrew Mail"] and "Mo'adim LeSimha" ["Happy Holidays'] (with each stamp valued at 20 prutot), 1949.
Also on the envelope are the inked stamps of the "Constituent Assembly of the State of Israel" ["HaAsefah HaMehonenet LiMedinat Yisrael"], Jerusalem, February 17, 1949."

Two days later, on February 16, the Assembly adopted "Transition Law – 1949," and by so doing, turned itself into the first Knesset.
