The Non-Jewish Star of David
Here in Israel we tend to think that the Star of David is an unmistakably Jewish symbol, but six pointed stars serve other religions as well. In this blog I published six pointed stars from India, Nepal, Jamaica, Japan, China, Spain, Arab countries etc. I reckon there are more non-Jews than Jews who use our national emblem with or without assigning to it the meaning of the Magen David...

Ceiling of Askenazi Synagogue
There’s an orange Jewish Star o on the ceiling of the Ashkenazi Synagogue in Istanbul. At first sight I thought circles of Stars of David surround it but looking more closely I found out that pentagrams surround it. Anyhow the design is unique and I like it a lot.Picture is courtesy of "canonsnapper" who published it on Flickr.

Askenazi Synagogue, Istanbul
Red Jewish Star appears on a stained glass window of the Askenazi Synagogue in Istanbul, which was constructed by Jews of Austrian origin.Picture is courtesy of Michael Summers ("canonsnapper") who published it on Flickr.
To me it looks like a Photoshop design of the full moon after the visit of an Israeli astronaut.
