National Flag:
The national flag is very important to the country. The Star of David is representative of the Jewish culture and religion. The Jewish religion want a symbol to be theirs just like the Cross is the symbol for Christianity. The two blue stripes symbolize the two dyed strands of ritual fringes. The flag was also symbolized the number 7. the seven candles of the Sabbath lamp are placed seven flames, shaped like the Star its self; thus the "Sabbath Peace" is blended with the 7 daily labor hours of Herzl. Statues and Monuments: Many of the countries monuments and statues are very famous or well known by many. Some of the many memorable monuments are the Yad Vashem, the Pillar of Heroism, the Memorial to the Jewish soldiers, and many many more. One of the interesting monument or statue that is most unique to me is the Pillar of Heroism. The pillar has three sides, made of many concave panels of stainless steel. The various lines of very cool and great language are engraved in the front panel. The inscription stresses the concept of Heroism, and the of the high value at that time period. There is a mass amount of other different types of sculptures and statues but this particular one stuck out to me. |
