Our Star

The Israeli flag and its magen david is what cloaks and identifies Jews as an independent people worldwide. It became a Jewish symbol dating back to medievel Prague and was later adopted by the Zionist movement in late 19th century.


The blue stripes symbolize the stripes of the tlalit (the parayer shawl jews wrap themselves in) and the hexagram formed by two superposed triangles, the Magen Davin, represent the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.

It is a work of art that we look to as though looking to the blue sky. Blue and White colors symbolize heaven, light, wisdom, and trust and when we look at it it we look to the peaceful blue sky.

The flag is simple and has only two colors and even the blue color has not been mandated in specifics and ranges from cyan to dark purple but the effect it has on us is undeniable and variations of it have been attempted by many creative visionaries.

A face painted flag; this photo is used to convey world peace, and children do it best. Another meaning of the photo is the return of Jews to their birth- land and their raising the seeds they have sown and this fruit is that Israeli boy.

A nice assortment of jewish emblems in the form of tiles. (A good idea if your redecorating a house) The flag projected unto the walls of Jerusalem. The dark blue hue adds to the solemness of the old walls.
