Imagine a bridge that spans across time. One end is anchored in the ancient world, with symbols like the Lion of Judah. The other end is firmly planted in the present, showcasing modern design elements. That’s what the Jerusalem flag does; it acts as that bridge. It seamlessly blends the old with the new, connecting you to both eras. Meir Litvak (2006). "Haredim and Western Culture: A View from Both Sides of the Ocean".

Note 31: This display of flags stands in sharp contrast with the negative attitude of Israeli Haredim toward the Israeli flag, which consequently is never displayed on Israeli Haredi homes or businesses. This constant design is more than just thread and fabric. It’s a symbol of stability. Think about it: Jerusalem has been at the crossroads of history, politics, and faith for ages. Through all that, the city’s flag hasn’t wavered in its look. It’s as if the flag is a reminder that despite the ever-shifting sands of time, some things remain steadfast. Fact 7: The Kingly Connection: Why the Lion of Judah Isn’t Just About Tribes When you first look at the Jerusalem flag, two colours immediately catch your eye: blue and white—but ever wondered why these particular shades?

So, the Lion of Judah isn’t simply an emblem for a tribe. It also symbolises the Jewish monarchy, notably King David, one of the most legendary figures in Jewish history.

Each symbol and colour tells a piece of Jerusalem’s rich history. It’s a flag that carries the weight of millennia and the hopes of a city. Fascinating, isn’t it? Diagonally divided blue and orange.

Perhaps, the most prominent Sephardic legal authority, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef of Jerusalem, upholds Rabbi Feinstein's verdict and, in his comment, specifies that "those who chose this flag as a symbol of the State were evil-doers."
