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.
Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of a JNF sticker with the slogan: “I live in Israel -Why Don’t You?” and the sticker is part of his collection. The design is based on the Israeli flag, which is a separate symbol that justifies a separate blog dedicated to it, but since the Star of David in not in its center, I made my own rules flexible.
Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of a blue Star of David with a red Soviet Union star on a “Let My People Go” sticker. The sticker is part of his collection. It was used during the successful campaign to let Soviet Jewry immigrate to Israel after Six Days War.
The graphic design is fascinating: the transition from suppression to freedom is expressed by adding one point to the five-pointed Soviet Union star and by changing its color from red into blue. The transition is represented by the red arrow that prolongs the Hebrew letter Lamed.

Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of a Star of David with the words Marry Christmas. I published already a few Stars of David ןn connection with Christmas, but they were all abroad. It is important that Israelis will understand that this emblem is important to other religions too.
