Description

Local Council Ma'ale Ephrayim (meaning Ephraim's ascent, named after the biblical tribe) is situated on Cross-Samaria road, on the western slopes of Samaria Mounts, 200 m ASL and 490 m above the Jordan valley. Est. 1978, 1750 inh.
Mr. Dan Vardi, local council computerizing and public relations co-ordinator, wrote me:

The Local Council Ma'ale Ephrayim has a flag representing the Local Council emblem on white. There are some variations to the emblem (green colour and colour changing – positive and negative) – but since the founding of the settlements and its proclamation as local authority, this is the emblem and flag of our settlement.

The emblem of Ma'ale Ephraim has not been formally adopted. Israeli municipalities in areas occupied since 1967 cannot register their emblems*. Many Israeli laws are in force in those municipalities when adopted there by the military commander, but the Symbols/Emblems Protection Act of 1974 is not one of them.

Ma'ale Ephraim was established in 1978 as the urban center for all the settlements of the Jordan Valley. Local Council since 11 March 1981.
