World's largest portable flag raised in Haifa ahead of Rosh Hashanah
The flag, which measures approximately 40 meters in height, was recently submitted as a candidate for the Guinness World Records and is displayed permanently at the Flag House in Kfar Shmaryahu.
An Israeli flag, potentially recognized as the world's largest mobile flag, was unveiled in Haifa on Friday as part of an initiative promoting unity and Israeli pride. This towering flag, approximately 40 meters high, has been submitted for consideration in the Guinness World Records and is permanently displayed at the Flag House in Kfar Shmaryahu.
The collaboration behind this monumental display includes the Haifa Municipality, Haifa Port, and Boaz Hayon. The flag was raised on the eve of Rosh Hashanah near the Palmer Gate at Haifa Port, offering a striking view from various parts of the city, bay, sea, and approaching vessels. The public is encouraged to visit the location to admire the flag during the holiday.
Mayor Yona Yahav of Haifa emphasized the symbolic significance of the flag's presence, stating that it stands as a testament to the city's resilience, having faced adversity in recent years including attacks during wars. Despite these challenges, Haifa has persevered, remaining strong and proud.
