Message on a flag finds way to Israel’s shores
Pupils at King David High School Victory Park this week inscribed messages of hope and inspiration to global Jewry on Israeli flags as part of the Olim Ladegel project. The flags have been sent to Israel to join thousands of other flags signed by the younger generation in Israel and around the world.
Two hundred of the flags will be presented at the Ammunition Hill Museum in Jerusalem on Yom Ha’atzmaut this year. They will remain there for few months and thereafter be returned to the archives with the rest of the flags.
The flags are to be kept in a “time capsule” to be revealed in 30 years’ time, in 2048, for Israel’s 100-year anniversary.
