Christian Attitudes

Well, one friend of Jews and the Jewish State thinks big, anyway.

The record for the world's largest flag now belongs to an Israeli banner produced by a Filipino evangelical Christian.

If you are thinking of making one like it, here are its dimensions: it is 2,165 feet long and 330 feet wide and weighs 5.7 tons. Make sure you buy a very large quantity of blue and white cloth.

Filipino entrepreneur Grace Galindez-Gupana said she decided two years ago to produce a giant Israeli flag as a testament to her love for Israel and the Jewish people and as a celebration of 50 years of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Israel.

"God spoke to me in thunder and lightning," Galindez-Gupana said. "The Lord said, 'Make the flag of Israel, the standard of my people.'"

"This is a tall order," she said, breaking down in tears.

Not just tall, but wide and long, too.
