    Caravan Agur Southeast Caravan COMING SOON TO OUR COMMUNITY! MEET GILI I'm Gili Yannay from Neve Monosson – a small village 20 minutes from Tel-Aviv. I'm almost 17, and am in 11th grade at Yahud Comprehensive High School. My mother Yael is a literary editor and my father Roni is a business consultant, and both are my closest friends. I'm the youngest sister and very close to my 3 siblings: Tal is a computer science student, Dan is a musician, and my sister Tamar is about to finish her service in the Israeli Defense Forces. I have been in the scouts since I was 8, and it is a centerpiece in my life. In the past two years I have been a counselor of the senior group – the shichva bogeret. In this position I worked to be a role model for the younger kids in our scouts chapter. I have a great passion for music, probably because all of my family members play and sing. I play the cello and the piano and love to sing and dance. Arts also take a great part of my pastime – I paint, make pottery and lately also sew. Last year I went on a student delegation to Germany, where we were hosted by students our age. Together we toured Germany and studied issues connected with the Holocaust. This year they came to Israel to be hosted by us, are we toured Israel together. I love hiking and particularly enjoyed showing my wonderful country to our new friends. I love being in Israel but am also thrilled with the opportunities I will have to connect to my people in the US.

  • Sub-National Flags of Israel
    Sub-national flags of Israel Dov Gutterman Abstract Israel is divided into 266 local authorities, though current plans aim at reducing their number to 150. Almost all local authorities have emblems (most of them official) but none of them have an official flag, even though the law made it possible in 1974. All flags that were located in the re- search for this paper bear the local emblem. The vast majority of local authorities use plain flags with logo on monochrome backgrounds (with or without inscription), but in some cases you can find flags that are not following this pattern. It seems that many local authorities choose random colors for the flags, but here and there you can find a reason for a specific color. Introduction Israel is divided into six districts (in Hebrew Ma’hoz, pl. M’hozot). The districts are: North, Haifa, Center, Tel-Aviv, Jerusalem and South. All districts are divided into sub- districts (in Hebrew Nafa, pl. Nafot). In the case of Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem, there is only one sub-district. However, this partition has no vexillological outcome as there is no “District (or Sub-District) Government” and consequently there are no flags or other symbols which represent them. This division is mainly used for administrative purposes. Therefore, when dealing with Israeli sub-divisional flags, we can discuss only the flags of local authorities. Local authorities in Israel consist of three types: - Irya (can be translated as “Township” but usually translated into “Municipality”) – for large urban areas, - Mo’atza Mekomit (Local Council) – for small urban areas, - Mo’atza Ezorit (Regional Council) – for rural areas.
