There is no such thing as a Jewish flag.
The State of Israel has Israeli national symbols such as a flag that draw from Jewish inspirations. It is very similar to how there is no such thing as a Lutheran flag, but the cross on the Swedish flag is representative of how Lutheranism is the dominant religion in that country. The Star on the Israeli flag is a strong symbol of Judaism. In Judaism, the Star represents the unity of the Jewish people.

∙ 12y agoThe Jewish star also known as the Shield of David (Magen David in Hebrew) is the recognized symbol of Jewish identity and Judaism. The Star of David is also used on the Israeli flag as the countries symbol.
There is a lot of back and forth on why the symbol came to have this meaning - there are several thousand years of non-written history to deal with. It could be as simple as a family crest using the letters of a tribe's name in some early version of the Hebrew alphabet. The mathematically inclined even suggest that the Star of David is a two dimensional representation of of a three dimensional tetratetrahedron, made up of eight interlocking equilateral triangles.
Earlier representations relate the Star of David to Babylonian symbols and the Seal of Solmon.

∙ 13y agoThe story appears in Mathew's Gospel, Ch.2:
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
The wise men who saw his star knew what it meant - it was a guide to them to the place where Jesus was born -
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
There is no record of this star in The Bible, before or since that i know of, so I presume its meaning was only for the wise men and to show us God's eternal wisdom and love.
