What’s in a flag?
Step 1: the poor man and the suit (story)
A very poor man was once invited by his reach friend to a big party. Seeing him at the door – the guards told him to take a hike. When he asked for a reason they told him he couldn’t have gotten an invitation, being so poor and all. Besides, they told him: “you can’t mingle with the hi society and famous people wearing rags!”
Disappointed – the man went to the closest store and spend every dime he had on a new expensive suit. He then went back to the party and the guards at the entrance, not recognizing him from before, let him in and a tall guy escorted him to a seat handing him the menu. After serving him the tall butler came to see if the poor man needed anything else. He was amazed to see that the guy is poring the soup in to his pants pockets and stuffing his suit pockets with stakes and kneidalach.
He then called the guards and in a minute the whole crowd was surrounding him. The landlord approached him asking for his actions!! -“it’s very simple” – answered the poor man – “my close deserve to eat! They got me in here didn’t they?”

Now show them the Israeli flag – why the stripes? (talit) why magen david?(believed to be on david’s shield) how are the two flags similar? Don’t forget that We also put our religion on our most famous sign!
Make sure the chanichim come to understand the symbolic difference between a sword and a shield!
1. Is there any logic in swearing to the flag? Why do we do it?
2. Have u watched the movie “patriot”? there’s a guy who’s job is to run with the flag! He has no weapons and he runs in front of everyone! Of course he always dies but the army finds it worth it because it makes people fight – something like Moses’s hands against Amalek.
3. Should
Step 3
Take two chanichim and give them the flags of
A point to discuss: would we feel the same way towards our flag if we were any other country? Discuss it with the chanichim!
Conclusion:
The way we feel about the Israeli flag (I still get excited seeing it flown up high in the air) is because of the history it represents – more than just 54 years of existence but 2000 years of galut before it! People in
We should be proud of our flag and anything which shows our love and bond to
