 The
Israeli Flag:
The flag of Israel was adopted on October 28, 1948,
five months after the country's establishment. It
depicts a blue Star of David on a white background,
between two horizontal blue stripes. The blue color
is mandated only as "dark sky-blue", and varies from
flag to flag, ranging from a hue of pure blue,
sometimes shaded almost as dark as navy blue, to
hues about 75% toward pure cyan and shades as light
as very light blue. The flag was designed for the
Zionist Movement in 1891. The basic 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"). It became a Jewish
symbol starting in late medieval Prague, and was
adopted by the First Zionist Congress in 1897.
