The Star of David tends to appear with “important” inscriptions like “Zion”, “Israel”, “chai” (life) and they are placed usually inside the hexagonal frame which is surrounded by six triangles. The shape gives the word a special meaning and the word gives the shape a certain direction.

Chanukiyah

Chanukiyah jewish star
Haifa designer Hayim Shtayer shot this photo of a Star-of-David in a chanukiyah candleholder, and it is part of his collection of interesting objects.
When the chanukiyah appears alone everybody knows it is Jewish.
When the Star-of-David appears alone nobody knows to which religion it belongs, since it belongs to many religions.
When the Star-of-David and the chanukiyah appear together it is definitely Jewish.

The common denominator is the wall of Jerusalem, the difference is between the Religious Symbols – if they appear on the same hologram why can’t they live in harmony in reality?
