Expensive Glass Star of David

Today I got the following Flickr Mail from dc chen:

I saw this Star of David at a local glass shop in downtown Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I didn't plan on purchasing it (too expensive) but thought it was cool and decided to take a picture of it. In general, as a Bible beliving Christian, I'm interested in Jewish history, though I don't know about it as much as I'd
like to. I did, however, just recently purchased a book on the Six-Day War in 1967.

Potentially Offensive Star of David

You can say that the Star of David is just an innocent symbol, but it makes some people react aggressively-which means that it is a powerful symbol...

For example: I read on Aftenposten from 05 Feb 2004 that Teacher Inge Telhaug, who teaches immigrants Norwegian language and culture at the Kristiansand Adult education center in Norway, was told to stop wearing around his neck the Star of David, because the principal of that school, Kjell Gislefoss, felt that the Star of David can be interpreted as a political symbol and can offend Palestinian  students.

In  2001 the Jewish community celebrated the restoration of the roof with the golden Star of David of the Moscow Synagogue, which was built in 1779 and after one year Tsar Alexander III ordered to destroy it.

Star of David stamp

Robert Prather ("robertrazrblog") from Flickr sent me the following email:

I actually found this stamp at a Garden Ridge  for $1.00 and couldn't resist buying it. I currently don't really have a use for it, but I usually can't resist buying such things.
