The Ink Flag by Avigail Wieder Sukkah Tapestry (waterproof)

Elevate your sukkah with a waterproof tapestry of "The Ink Flag" by Jerusalem artist Avigail Wieder. This striking pastel artwork draws inspiration from the iconic photograph of the same name, taken in 1949 during the final operation of Israel's War of Independence. Avigail’s painting masterfully combines her passion for history and art, offering a powerful tribute to the miraculous journey of a small, resilient army, largely composed of Holocaust survivors and refugees. The composition captures the unwavering determination of these defenders as they protected their newly-formed nation against overwhelming odds.

Rich with historical detail, Avigail’s work encapsulates the resilience and ingenuity of the Negev brigade soldiers who crafted the makeshift Israeli flag—known as 'the ink flag'—by drawing two lines and sewing on the Star of David from a first aid kit. This temporary emblem, was replaced just two hours later by an official flag when the Golani brigade arrived. 

Hanging this tapestry in your sukkah not only enhances its beauty but also serves as a reminder of the enduring spirit and faith that shaped Israel's destiny. "The Ink Flag" invites reflection on the courage and miracles that defined this pivotal period in history, paying homage to the brave individuals who played a crucial role in our nation's establishment.
