Yeshivas Ponevezh on Thursday upheld its mesorah of hanging an Israeli flag on the yeshivah’s roof on Yom Ha’atzmaut.
The minhag began after the establishment of the state at the instructions of the Ponevezher Rav, HaGaon HaRav Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman, zt”l, to fly the flag on the roof of the yeshivah for eight hours.
Since then, the flag is hung from the yeshivah’s roof every year on Yom Ha’atzmaut from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Apart from the flag, there is no indication of Yom Ha’atzmaut at the yeshivah, with tefillos, shiurim, and sedarim taking place as usual.
Yeshiva Bais Mattisyahu in Bnei Brak also hung an Israeli flag this year.
Meanwhile, In the chareidi community of Antwerp, Belgium, “Shomrei HaDas” raised the Israeli flag today in honor of the 78th Yom Ha’atzmaut of the State of Israel.

Don’t worry nobody secular is giving them any credit regardless. More calls for sanctions and starvations upcoming. But thankfully the Arabs don’t have anything to worry about
Did they say Hallel with a berachah and add in Mussaf too? lol

Fly the flag that destroyed the souls of the yeminite Jews. Fly the flag that forced dead Jews to be desecrated with autopsies. Fly the flag that has a Supreme Court that despises observant Jews. Fly the flag that frees Arab murderers by the thousands. Fly the flag that supports the gay movement that turns Israel into Sodom. Thank G-d no flags flying among religious Jews like Boro park or lakewood or Monsey.
Did Ben-Gurion say hallel? We follow his minhag
rebEmes, you can join Ben Gurion in kefira and hate for chareidim. You disparage gedolim, olom haTorah, Chabad, Agudas Yisroel, Moetzes, BMG and others, while pretending to be part of the tzibur.
