1. story : the poor man and the suit: an very poor man was once invited by his reach friend to a big party. Seeing him at the door – the guards told him to take a hike. When he asked for a reason they told him he couldn’t have gotten an invitation, being so poor and all. Besides, they told him: “you can’t mingle with the hi society and famous people wearing rags!”
Disappointed – the man went to the closest store and spend every dime he had on a new expensive suit. He then went back to the party and the guards at the entrance, not recognizing him from before, let him in and a tall guy escorted him to a seat handing him the menu. After serving him the tall butler came to see if the poor man needed anything else. He was amazed to see that the guy is poring the soup in to his pants pockets and stuffing his suit pockets with stakes and kneidalach.
He then called the guards and in a minute the whole crowd was surrounding him. The landlord approached him asking for his actions!! -“it’s very simple” – answered the poor man – “my close deserve to eat! They got me in here didn’t they?”
This story comes to show us that what should count is not how someone looks but what’s behind it’s appearance!

2. ask your chanichim: what’s behind the American flag? (I also attached flags in word 4 u guys – u can inlarge it if u want!) does it men something to you when you see it waved? Do you feel the same whaen you see the Israeli flag? If not how is it different?

Now show them the Israeli flag – why the stripes? (talit) why magen david?(believed to be on david’s shield) how are the two flags similar? Don’t forget that We also put our religious on our most famous sign!
Make sure the chanichim come to understand the symbolic difference between a sword and a shield!
4. is there any logic in swearing to the flag? Why do we do it?
5. have u watched the movie “patriot”? thares a guy who’s job is to run with the flag! He has no weapons and he runs infront of everyone! Ofcourse he always dies but the army finds it worth it because ir makes people figt – something like mose’s hands against amalek (lehavdil)

7. take two chanichim and give them the flags of france and turkey and ask them to act a French man and a turkman (J) the French man can say how proud he is of his flag and that so many people has died for it at the times of napoleon. The turk can say how important it is for them that in
8. would we feel the same way towards our flag if we were any other country? Discuss it with the chanichim!
MASKANA! (conclusion) :
The way we feel about the Israeli flag (I still get the shivers seeing it flown up high in the air) is because of the history it represents – more than just 54 years of existence but 2000 years of galut before it! People in
We should be proud of our flag and anything which shows our love and bond to srael and to Judaism
