The Star of David, known in Hebrew as Magen David (Shield of David), consists of two interlocking equilateral triangles forming a hexagram. Historically adopted as a Jewish symbol in the Middle Ages and later embraced globally during the 19th and 20th centuries, it appears on the flag of Israel and in synagogues, religious texts, and Holocaust memorials. Its geometric symmetry and spiritual connotations reflect divine protection, unity of opposites, and the connection between heaven and earth.
