The flag of Israel features a white star and blue stripes on a blue background. The blue color represents the traditional blue color of the Sh’khinah (God’s presence) as well as the Zionist movement, which was founded by Theodor Herzl. The white star represents the symbol of the name of God, which was used on the shields of ancient Jewish warriors. The blue stripes are a reflection of the colors of the Zionist flag, known as the “T’khiyah” (hope).
