Jewish Autonomous Oblast

The flag of the Jewish Autonomous Oblast (JAO) consists of a rainbow on a white background, with seven narrow horizontal rainbow-colored stripes: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The seven colored stripes are centered vertically and regularly spaced; they have a height each equal to 1/40 of the total flag's height, and are separated by a thin spacing equal to 1/120 of the total flag's height.
==Symbolism==
The white represents purity. Rainbows are the biblical symbol of peace, happiness, goodness. The number of bands of the rainbow equal to the number of candles in the Menorah, one of the national religious Jewish symbols. The Menorah speaks of the creation of the world in seven days, and the number of bands of the rainbow emphasizes the connection with the ancient Jewish symbol. Also, the rainbow may symbolize the Seven Noahide laws.
