Star of David Symbol - Meaning, History, and Significance in Judaism #2302893 (License: Personal Use)

The Star of David, known in Hebrew as Magen David (Shield of David), consists of two overlapping equilateral triangles forming a six-pointed star. It has been used as a Jewish symbol since the Middle Ages and became universally adopted in the 19th century; today it appears on the flag of Israel and in synagogues, religious texts, and ceremonial objects. Though its origins are debated, it now signifies divine protection, unity of opposites, and the connection between God and humanity.
