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.

We see a tattoo in the shape of a heart above the place of the heart - showing how much its bearer loves it. Looks to me like a unique concept and that's why I blog it here. Following this concept one can tattoo an eye on his eyelids, a hand on his palms...

Hexagram in a stained glass in the cathedral at Mazatlan.I wish I remembered more of the story the tour guide told us, but I believe he said that the cathedral was funded in part by local Jewish people. In their honor, the Star of David was incorporated into the stained glass.
Each religion has its separate house of prayer so that Isaiah’s vision in chapter 56:6-7 about A House Of Prayer For All Peoples seems quite distant, but here is an example for a small step in the right direction...It's on the chapel (non-denominational) on the campus of Ole Miss (The University of Mississippi) in Oxford, Mississippi. I have heard that the chapel was built by a Jewish alumnus who married a Christian -- or maybe a Christian alumnus who married a Jew -- and who wanted to incorporate both images on the chapel.
