Local Council of Shoham (Onyx) was established in 1993 and
already with 16'400 inh. (2003). It is situated near Tel Aviv–Jerusalem
Highway (Hwy. 1) about 5 kms. east of Ben-Gurion Int'l Airport.
It is planed to reach 20'000 inh. in high standard residencies.
The municipal
website [retrieved | picture]
describes the emblem as follows:
"The shape of the emblem is combined of pattern shaped like
a shield, community name and its municipal status.
The color of the emblem – green – express the landscape and its
typical houses that are immerse in green.
The name – Shoham – was given after one of the Hoshen
[breastplate] stones which were set in the Cohen Gadol [High
Priest] clothes as he served in Jerusalem.
The idea for this name was caused by the mere existence of
Shoham's nearby Moshav's – Bareket [Emerald] and Nofakh
[Garnet] – named also after stones of the breastplate.
The name of the designer of the emblem: Nehemya Friedmann,
resident of Bet-Nehemya."
Unfortunately, both the official
and the unofficial
websites [retrieved] don't show a photo of a flag, nor did I saw one while visiting it ...
