What do the colors on the Jewish flag mean?

There is no such thing as a Jewish flag. The State of Israel has Israeli national symbols such as a flag that draw from Jewish inspirations. It is very similar to how there is no such thing as a Lutheran flag, but the cross on the Swedish flag is representative of how Lutheranism is the dominant religion in that country. The colors of the Israeli flag mirror the traditional Jewish prayer shawl, one of the most sacred objects in Judaism. The Shield of David (the six-pointed star) is also a Jewish symbol representing the unity of the Jewish people.
