Home Blessing

I think Star of David OR Chamsa could do the job of blessing homes but here we have Star of David AND Chamsa in order to cover all bases. Got it from my mum for my birthday.

On My Neighbour's Gate

I live here for many years and never noticed that there is a Star of David on my neighbour's gate. Now that I started collecting these symbols it gets harder for them to hide...

37s collector

Picture of 37 magen David tiles is courtesy of mag3737 who wrote to me:

I collect 37s. it so happens that the Star of David pattern is one very simple arrangement of 37 objects in a hexagonal grid pattern. These tiles, btw, are on the floor of a building located in the gastown area of Vancouver, BC. It was a repeating pattern.

On my way to collect as much as I can about the Star of David I encountered many illustrations that use the numerology behind this shape to make a point. You must admit that the excuse of mag3737 to publish this photo is original.
The excuse of mag3737 doesn't mean that the designer of this floor didn't have a numerological reason for making it...

Qait Bey Citadel, Alexandria

QAIT Bey Citadel is one of the most important citadels in Egypt. It was build by the Mamluk Sultan al Ashraf Abul- Nasr Qait Bey in 1477 A.D.

This is the floor design throughout most of Qait Bey Citadel in Alexandria, Egypt. I took the picture because I find the prevalence of the Star of David in Islamic architecture to be very interesting. The Citadel was built in the late 1400s on the remains of the Lighthouse of Alexandria during the Mamluk period. The mosque it contains is believed to be among the oldest in Alex.

Humayun's tomb, Delhi, India

This Picture of a hexagram is courtesy of Andy Mason from Flickr.
Humayun's tomb [(1605-1613] is known to have inspired the Taj Mahal and many later Mughal(Mogul)tombs.
There are a few explanations to the existence of this hexagram in the archway:
1. It is a Hindu symbol
2. It is a Mandala symbol
3. It is a Persian import

Sukkah Lampshade in Jerusalem Mall

Today we hanged Yevu Yashir Sukkah Lampshades in the shape of 3D Star of David in a mall in Jerusalem. It looks quite small in the huge space of the Mall, but a lot of people who come to the mall for the High Holidays will be able to raise their heads and enjoy them.
