The amount of Israeli flags one sees just on a typical day. It makes everyone proud and it creates a sense of unity.

Factoid: This design was first displayed in Rishon-LeZion in 1885 and was also used at the First Zionist Congress in 1897. It was inspired by the tallit.  The flag was adopted officially on October 28, 1948, five months after the country's establishment.

In 2007, an Israeli flag measuring 660 meters (2,165 feet) long and 100 meters (330 feet) wide and weighing 5.2 metric tons, was unfurled near the ancient Jewish fortress of Masada, breaking the world record for the largest flag.
