Abstract

We’ll hear about the history of flags and when they became a national symbol.
The children will learn how Israel’s official flag came to be what we know today – from Herzl’s seven-star flag suggestion to the blue stripes and Star of David.
- In our special exciting story, we’ll hear about “The Ink Flag,” raised in Eilat in “Operation Uvd,” during the War of Independence.
- We’ll become familiar with the phrase “Raise Your Banner and Flag to Zion,” from the song by Noah Rosenblum. This song was composed after the First Zionist Congress, inspired by a verse from the Book of Jeremiah: “Raise a banner over Zion…”
