History and Symbolism of the Flag of Israel
The nation of Israel has long been of significant focus in religion and world politics. The Egyptian, Greek, and Roman Empires each had a part in shaping the region, and relics of their involvement are still visible.
However, the most lasting impact of Israel is the major world religions originating from the area, particularly Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. These three religions consider Israel the Holy Land - many major religious sites are here.
The famous six-pointed Star of David that the flag proudly highlights dates back to medieval Prague. The flag was designed as “the flag of Zion” for the Zionist Movement in the late 1800s as a symbol for organized Jewish peoples; it was finalized as the Zionist, or Jewish, flag in 1897. The new nation of Israel adopted it as the Israeli flag at its creation. The blue stripes on the flag are a Jewish symbol for the lines on a tallit, the traditional Jewish prayer shawl. Blue represents God, divinity, and holiness in Jewish faith and culture.
