Flags are big here in Israel, especially as יום העצמאות Yom HaAtzma'ut ("Independence Day") approaches (it was yesterday). Here are some pictures. The first one is of a car in our parking lot. Although we've seen thousands of Israeli flags, this is the only Texas flag I've seen! Go figure!
Here's a picture of our car, parked in our lot, decked out with Israeli flags. We bought the one flying from the right back window, but the two that envelop the rear-view mirrors were a gift from שופרסל Shufersal, our favorite supermarket chain, to us loyal customers!
Here are the other flags that we bought at a local toy store, decorating our מרפסת mirpeset ("balcony"). The big one is held up with clothes pins, and the 8 little ones came together on a string that is tied at both ends to the railing. This picture was a little tricky to take, since we're on the 4th (in the States it would be considered the 5th) floor. I had to go out onto the median in the middle of our street to get this shot.
