Did ancient Israelites take the Star of David with them to different countries after their first and second Temples were destroyed? A positive answer to this question might help shed some light on the origin of this symbol. There are many groups who are candidates for this investigation: Yemenite Jews, Cochin Jews, lost tribes etc.

I doodle! This one was drawn on July 14, 2006 during the conflict. Another Star of David was drawn for our Charis Corp. "Working with Israel" Class offered this year.
