Askenazi Heritage Flag - אַשְׁכְּנַזִּים

 
אַשְׁכְּנַזִּים

The Ashkenazi Heritage flag is loosely based upon the flag of Germany with a touch of Israeli designs.  You can see the colours Germany and the basic pattern of Israel's flag, rotated at 90º.  However, there is no blue.

Ashkenazi Jews are associated with the Yiddish language, which is closest to German.
ייִדיש, יידיש or אידיש, yidish/idish





It seems that God has goofy sense of humour.  Easy way to never confuse it that Askenazi with Sephardic Jews is to notice spelling.  Irony is, Nazi's came mostly from Germany as did the Askenazi.  The weird fact is that ending of Askenazi has the spelling 'nazi' of Askenazi.  Just remember, laughs and love are the remedy for healing and hope...sending hope and love to the Askenazi and Germany.

Chile Jewish Heritage Flag

It is a flag for people of the southern Star of David.  Neat thing about the Jewish Star is if you flip it, it is still facing upwards, just just can't keep a man of faith down.  


Ethiopian Jewish Heritage Flag

The vast majority of Beta Israeli's come from Ethiopia.  As Ethiopia is closer to Israeli than England or Germany, it makes sense that during diaspora, a few Jews would end up in this ancient land of civilization.
