The Star of David, or Magen David, is a six-pointed star composed of two interlocking equilateral triangles, forming a hexagram. Historically adopted as a Jewish symbol in the Middle Ages and later embraced globally, it represents core Jewish values, divine protection, and the unity of opposites (e.g., heaven and earth, male and female). Today, it appears on the flag of Israel and in synagogues, religious artifacts, and Holocaust memorials.
