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 Magen David photo of a JNF sticker, and the sticker is part of his collection. The sticker was issued to celebrate 30 years of Israeli Independence. I liked the top triangle with the ridges to the horizon – very original!
Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of a blue on white Star of David on a “Let My People Go” sticker, and the sticker is part of his collection. It was used during the successful campaign for letting Soviet Jewry immigrate to Israel after Six Days War.

Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of pale green Stars of David inside the Hebrew letter Shin on an election sticker with the words: “This time a Government with Shinuy”. The sticker is part of his collection. Election times are prone to excessive usage of our national emblem, as well as Independence Day, and it is pushed to every groove, even if it is not a must.
