Iris wrote to me:

When I hear the words Magen David it reminds me of our national anthem and I feel pride and belonging to the chosen people. Our people suffered expulsion, anti-Semitism and had to wander around the world –these causes brought about the endless longing for the Land. Even though we got a Land, eventually, we remained a wandering people and that’s why the Stars of David fall like tears

The Star of The Whole Wide World

Star of David in the center of a furniture shop sign. At first sight it looks like the Israeli flag but there the star is blue and the background is white and here we see another version. The caption under the flag is: “importing furniture from the whole wide world”. It seems that unconsciously the designer of this sign hit a nerve- the Star of David was used by everybody, or as the sign says: by "the whole wide world".

Background Pattern

On the background of this poster we see a yellow pattern of Star of David & Herzl. The poster is an invitation to a party (in Israel). It shows that the national emblem (and the founder of the nation) are popular. They do not serve only the government and the official needs - they also speak to the people and are handy in everyday life.
