The Origins of the Flag of Israel

The modern flag of Israel actually dates to the Zionist Movement of the late 19th century. Zionism was a political movement intended to reestablish a Jewish state in Palestine. It grew steadily through the first half of the 20th century, then, following the Holocaust, became a major force on the world stage and was successful in the establishment of Israel in 1948.

The flag of Israel is intended to represent a Tallit, or prayer shawl in the ancient blue color of the Tekhelet dye. The idea of for the design first came from David Wolffsohn, a leader in the early Zionist Movement, who wrote:

"...I came to Basle to make preparations for the Zionist Congress. Among many other problems that occupied me then was one that contained something of the essence of the Jewish problem. What flag would we hang in the Congress Hall? Then an idea struck me. We have a flag Ñ and it is blue and white. The talith (prayer shawl) with which we wrap ourselves when we pray: that is our symbol. Let us take this Talith from its bag and unroll it before the eyes of Israel and the eyes of all nations. So I ordered a blue and white flag with the Shield of David painted upon it. That is how the national flag, that flew over Congress Hall, came into being."

On the 28th of October, 1948, just months after the establishment of the State of Israel, the Flag of Israel was officially adopted.
