Historical background
In Washington D.C., USA, in May 1948, a boy unfurls the flag of the new Jewish state of Israel at the new Israeli consulate. Jews dance.
This is a historic moment! The opening of the Jewish consulate in Washington D.C. in 1948 marked a significant milestone in the international recognition of the State of Israel. The unveiling of the Israeli flag by a young man and the joy of the Jews dancing above it certainly symbolises the hope and pride of a community that has long waited for the restoration of its own state. It was an event full of symbolism and meaning for the Jewish diaspora worldwide.
