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.

Photo is courtesy of Tzfat painter and photographer Yaacov Kaszemacher, who created a series of Star of David paintings, each revealing a new aspect of this compound symbol. Here we see a wooden cube, which is made mostly from a wooden Star of David, which encircles another blue Star of David.They say of artists in general and of painters in particular that each work creates a world of its own with rules of its own - and in Kaszemacher’s Star of David series of paintings this saying is clearer than in many other instances: It is not only a painting - it is also an invention!
