Josefov flag

by Jan Kravčik, 10 July 2000

Josefov was a Jewish ghetto, erased completely and rebuilt. It is associated with a lot of stories, some rather gruesome, such as those dealing with the 'Gholem'. The flag points at this past.

Naturally, it is not a mullet but a Magen David. It was not "completely erased" since some of the synagogues and the ancient graveyard still exist. It should be also mentioned that Prague witnessed the first recorded appearance of the MD as a Jewish symbol, when the Jewish community in Prague received the right to have a flag of its own and chose in 1354 the MD as the symbol on the flag.
BTW - the word "ghetto" means "foundry" which was the name of the Jewish quarter in Venice.

I guess that this is modern version of the original historical flag of Jozefov (or better said of the Jewish Community of Prague) that is considered to be the first Jewish flag to use Magen David. In this manner this can be considered the predcessor of the Zionist flags and the current flag of Israel.
