This man is selling flags in Tel Aviv. A few weeks before Israeli Independence Day, people hang flags from their balconies and from their car windows. The words to a popular Israeli Independence Day song are "kol ha'aretz, degalim, degalim" which means "the whole county, flags, flags."I remember Yom Ha'atzmaut in the Kibbutz. With all the kids running around dressed mostly in white and blue... and everyone was happy and people were singing "Hatikva" in the eve. It was a wonderful time and it is nice to look back and remember the joy and also today it is wonderful to see how people celebrate our country and how proud they are to be Israelis - and so am I.
