What does the jewish star symbolize?

Answer 1

It is King David's Star of David. The Star of David represents the unity of the Jewish people since the Jewish people were all united in the days of King David. In this era where Jews are scattered all over the world, this power of this unifying symbol is still stronger.

The Star of David symbolises Judaism, in the same way that the cross symbolises Christianity.

Answer 4

The most prominent Jewish symbol is usually called the Star of David, but this is a misnomer. The Hebrew is not Kochav David (Star of David) but Magen David (Shield of David). David was an Israelite King and a renowned warrior. The Shield of David is the emblem on the shield he brought with him into battle with Canaanite Tribes and the Philistines. It became a symbol of the protection that God gave to the Israelite Kingdom under his and Solomon's reigns. In more modern times it is seen as symbol of Jewish unity since Jews consider themselves to be descendants of the very Israelites that David protected with his Shield.
