World Bnei
Akiva and Jewish Agency Shlichim (emissaries) around the globe
have been preparing for Israel’s 60th Independence Day
for months.
In the
South African branch of World Bnei Akiva,
the emissaries decided to implement all the Israel education
that the children have received throughout the year and
create a huge Israeli flag.
The “Human Israeli Flag” as
they named it, was created by 1000 children and youth that were
directed by Shay Kremer. Kremer: “I was immensely
moved by the sight of 1000 Bnei Akiva participants in
South Africa
singing Hatikva while standing in the shape of the Israeli
flag.”
Kremer
continues: “Throughout the year we always struggle to get
as much Zionist education in to the classrooms – and now
when I see all the children in blue in white – I
realize it was all worth it!.
