I took the photo in January when I was touring the annual holiday light display at Hartwood Acres near my home in Pittsburgh…

Date inside a Star of David

This is the first Star of David I stumbled upon which has a date in its
hexagonal frame. It makes me think about decorating my Emails' date with this kind of design.

it was taken in the old Jewish quarter of Krakow Poland, in the same street as the old synagogue - I don't really know much more about it than that, but there were a couple on the wall in the same street

Yair Davidiy

I am grateful to Yair Davidiy, the publisher of Brit-Am newsletter, who referred me to two of the most important Star of David artifacts. I get his newsletter regularly and I noticed that on the cover of his Hebrew book about the lost tribes, "Achim Acharim", there is a Star of David within a Star of David, and on the opening page of his huge website there is another Star of David in red, white, and blue. I asked him about these and here’s his answer:
W

e believe that descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes are primarily in Western Countries. The primary colors of Ancient Israel (as seen in the Tabernacle) were red, white, and blue. These are also the colors of many nations we identify as containing within their boundaries descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes, e.g. USA, Britain, France, etc. This is why we use red, white, and blue in our design. The Magen David shape is to emphasize the connection of the Lost Ten tribes to the Jews of Judah.
The book cover of our work in Hebrew, "Achim Acharim", was designed by my son Oriel Davidiy. The book was published on behalf of Brit-Am by Russell-Davis Publishing. The book traces the Lost Ten Tribes to the west using Biblical, Rabbinical, Historical, Linguistic, and related sources.

The Star of David is a Homoshape

Yesterday I asked on Yahoo Answers:
How do we call the same shape when it has more than one meaning? Can you give an example?
On the details section I explained:
When the same word has different meanings we call it a homonym.
My example: The Star of David is a shape that has different meanings in different cultures...
In a few hours I got some interesting answers:
Garypopki:
It was used as the logo of some European beer, but after the Nazis made it famous, the beer company changed its logo.
Rammohan:
Cross is used in churches and it has a different meaning when you see it in the hospital.
carebears:
How about "O"?
Can be used as a circle, a zero, the alphabet O.
In the feedback section I wrote:
Very good examples but no name - I'll have to invent one myself - I'll call it a homoshape.

Star of David in the Vatican

I shot it for several reasons. First, the lines and color drew my eye. There's a lot of movement and I imagine it took some time to assemble the mosaic. I also thought it was curious that the symbol was on the floor of the Vatican Museum. It always seems a little odd to put sacred symbols on the floor people walk on, but I was also curious why this Jewish symbol would be on.

I am sure the designers of this floor didn't mean to hurt anybody's feelings. There are many mosaic floors with the symbol of the cross all around the world. As for this photo I hope to find out where and when exactly it was made. 

Polymer Clay Bracelet

Only after reading the title I started to understand what is going on in this lovely photo. Anyhow I liked the personal touch with which each Star of David is put on the bead, and the fitness of the colors.

Herzl's Birthplace

Herzl was born on 2-May-1860 in Dohany Street Synagogue, Budapest.

I believe most people are attracted to the central point of this photo and read what's written on the sign - I'm attracted to the bottom left where an iron gray Star of David is peeping just to remind us about the connection between the founder of Zionism and its emblem.
