Note 31: This display of flags stands in sharp contrast with the negative attitude of Israeli Haredim toward the Israeli flag, which consequently is never displayed on Israeli Haredi homes or businesses. The design recalls the Tallit, the Jewish prayer shawl, which is white with blue stripes. The hexagram in the centre is the Magen David ("Shield of David", also known in the diaspora as the "Star of David").

Navy blue flag with a white vertically elongated oval set near the hoist containing a vertically elongated blue Star of David. The " Ink Flag" of 1949, which was raised during the War of Independence near present-day Eilat. This homemade flag's raising on a pole by several Israeli soldiers was immortalized in a photograph that has been compared with the famous photograph of the United States flag being raised atop Suribachi on the island of Iwo Jima in 1945. Like the latter photograph, the Ink Flag raising has also been reproduced as a memorial.Imagine a sea of flags fluttering in the wind, visible at every turn. Sounds amazing.

So, the Lion of Judah isn’t simply an emblem for a tribe. It also symbolises the Jewish monarchy, notably King David, one of the most legendary figures in Jewish history. Now, why would the flag feature this? King David wasn’t just any king; he was from the tribe of Judah himself. Talk about keeping it in the family! Ever notice that wall above the lion on the Jerusalem flag? Yep, it’s right there, sitting quietly but telling a grand tale. This isn’t just a random sketch of a wall, you know. It has a whole story to tell, which you will want to take advantage of. Jerusalem flag isn’t just cloth. It’s a storybook. Each symbol and colour tells a piece of Jerusalem’s rich history. It’s a flag that carries the weight of millennia and the hopes of a city. Fascinating, isn’t it? The early development of the flag of Israel was part of the emergence of Zionism in the late 19th century. Jacob Askowith and his son Charles designed the “flag of Judah,” which was displayed on July 20, 1891, at the hall of the B’nai Zion Educational Society in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S. Based on the traditional ṭallit, or Jewish prayer shawl, that flag was white with narrow blue stripes near the edges and bore in the centre the ancient six-pointed Shield of David with the word Maccabee in blue letters. Isaac Harris of Boston presented this flag idea in 1897 to the first international Zionist Congress, and others, including David Wolfsohn, came up with similar designs. Variations were used by the Zionist movement and, during World War II, by the British army’s Jewish Brigade Group.
