Mogen David Wine

The concept of the Mogen David is so powerful that it can help selling products even without the shape of the six-pointed star. 
Photo is courtesy of "MK" who published it on Flickr and wrote to me:
I don't think this is about The Star and there is no interesting story behind it. The wine I took a picture of was just a cheap wine, and so sweet!

Dry Fish


Photo of Star of David made from dry fish is courtesy of "ptas" who published it on Flickr under the title Best with beer. Ptas explained to me: 
This shot should make you think, what is Jewish society and culture for a single Jew it surrounds? The answer is yours. I just eat them with beer. Yum!
I think this photo is a candidate for the title the weirdest Star of David photo I’ve ever published.
