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.
The Maccabiah Postage Stamp designers demonstrated along the years their original talent to view the Star of David in a new light. Here we see the number 13 as a main element in the construction of our national emblem. Photo is courtesy of Gideon from the Israeli Stamp collector’s Forum “collect”.
