Code: 37041Product detailed description
The Star of David, known in Hebrew as Magen David (מָגֵן דָּוִד, transl. "Shield of David"), is a generally-recognized symbol of modern Jewish identity and Judaism. Its shape is that of a hexagram, the compound of two equilateral triangles.
The identification of the terms "Star of David" and "Shield of David" with the hexagram shape dates back to the 17th century. The term "Shield of David" is also used in the Siddur, a Jewish prayerbook, as a title for the God of Israel. Most notably, the star is used as the central symbol on the national flag of the State of Israel.
