On the road from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv are scattered dozens of Israeli 60 Independence Year Flags, starting at the exit from Jerusalem and ending at Shaar Hagay. Each flag is an ambassador of our national emblem, the magen David.
This blog (by Zeev Barkan) is dedicated to the Star of David, its history, its various meanings and usages in different cultures. It includes thousands of pictures of Star of David, six-pointed stars, hexagrams, Solomon's Seals, Magen Davids and yellow badges,and served as a resource for three books and four art exhibitions.

This is one of the about 30 works in different sizes, which were exhibited around Europe in 1977-1978, under the title “religious art”. We see in it a tree, which looks like a prophet, holding in its arms an incomplete Magen David, which hints to the broken tables of the covenant. In the background we see a calf head- hinting to the Golden Calf.
