Cheryl Hagedorn wrote the most extensive article about my blook that was written by someone other than me.
Here are a few updates:
Till now I wrote two chapters in English:

The Origin of the Star of David

Christian Star of David

In Hebrew I published on my Hebrew blog the following chapters

1. The origin of the Hexagram
2. The meaning of the Hexagram
3. The Hexagram in other cultures
4. Prominent persons in the history of the Magen David
5. Star of David products
6. Logos, coats of arms and city emblems
7. Mapping of Star of David appearances in art

I also broke into postings Asher Eder’s book about the Star of David, added images to each posting, and scattered them between my other postings. In other words I converted a book into a blook. I’ll be happy to know if there are others who made such a conversion …

To Be The First In The World

My son wanted to be the first in the world who has this Equality-Flag bumper sticker on his car. It is quite rare to be the first in the world ... Anyhow I like the reflection of the flash on the number plate.

Zeev Raban, The Twelve Tribes

Photo of Zeev Raban (1890-1970) illustration to the Song of Songs 1:9-12 is courtesy of Ruth Doron, Zeev Raban’s daughter, who lives in Jerusalem and owns the copyrights of his works. Ofira Oriel sent me this photo with an explanation in Hebrew of each one of the Twelve Tribes’ emblems. There’s the Israeli Flag on the emblem of Gad, with the three tents. There are also rosettes, which look like Stars of David, under the emblems. Ofira told me that her father, Shlomo Kedmi, has been Raban’s pupil and later partner in the Jerusalem art workshop.

My Stickers Arrived

My Stickers arrived five minutes ago from the printing shop and I already shot this photo to tell the world…
The number one, that is supposed to represent oneness, appears twice; while the number two that is supposed to represent separation appears once; but more important is the sign of future equality between the separated parts of the Israeli society which is built-in our flag.

Eliyahu Ben Ze’ev Alpern, Playing with light

Photo is courtesy of Israeli Photographer Eliyahu Ben Ze’ev Alpern, Chicago-born artist living in the Upper Galilee, who specializes in 360-degree panoramic images of Israel… Eliyahu made aliyah to Israel in 1997 and was trained as a tour guide specializing in Israel Experience adventures.
Eliyahu told me the photo of this David's Shield was taken at Rujm el-Hiri, the Israeli Stonehenge in Golan Heights area.

The poster was issued probably in the USA in the aftermath of the first Kishinev pogrom on April 6-7, 1903.

Augustinian emblem

Photo of radiating hexagram on top of an Augustinian emblem is courtesy of "Evissa' who published it on Flickr. Photo was taken at Costa de la Luz, Spain. friendsofsanroque commented on Evissa’s webpage:

This is an AGUSTINIAN EMBLEM:
a BiBle
a Heart Pierced with an arrow
and the CORREA, the cincture that was given by the Blessed Virgin Mary
