The stamp issued on the occasion of the Fourth Maccabiah Games depicts a globe, a combined image of the earth and a basketball, in the palm of a hand, against a blue background with a Magen David. The inscription is: "Fourth Maccabiah 1953".

The Maccabi World Union congress which followed this Maccabiah adopted a resolution to build a Maccabiah village to house the visiting contingents. Since then the Maccabiah games have been held regularly every four years.
