The official flag of the city where I live--
Herzliya, Israel-- has seven stars, to represent
the seven-hour workday envisioned by Theodor
Herzl the founder of modern political Zionism.  
Unfortunately, we're not there yet.  The work 
week in Israeli hi-tech is commonly 45 hours, or 
41.25 hours net of breaks.
