The Star of David

The Star of David, known as the Magen David, is a hexagram consisting of two overlapping triangles forming a six-pointed star. It is widely recognized as a symbol of Judaism and Jewish identity. Historically, it has appeared in various contexts, including religious artifacts and on synagogues, symbolizing divine protection and the connection between God and the Jewish people. While its origins predate Judaism and have appeared in different cultures, it became associated with Jewish identity in the 19th century and is now prominently featured on the Israeli flag. Its geometric harmony and spiritual significance make it a powerful emblem of faith and community.
