The Star of David, or Magen David (Shield of David), is not Jewish in origin and is not a Jewish religious symbol. These hexagrams were used by all religions in the Hellenistic world, and in the Middle Ages, Jews, Christians, and Muslims alike used them to ward off demons and fires. In the fourteenth century, Jewish mystical texts began associating the image with the shield of God used to protect King David.
The Star of David first appeared on a Jewish flag in Prague in 1527. The Magen David being adopted by Zionists as a symbol of the Nation of Israel and a symbol of strength.
The Jewish religious symbol is the menorah, the 7 branch candelabra that stood in the Temple.
