The Star of David was used as a Jewish symbol throughout the centuries, and was even used by the Nazis to identify Jews, when they were forced to wear it at all times.

It was in 1897 that the World Zionist Congress decided to adapt the symbol as a Zionist emblem, and, in the end, it was also introduced into the Israeli flag and many other Zionist Propaganda.

Just as the Cross is associated with Christianity, the Star of David represents either Judaism or Zionism (although they are not the same at all).

The Star of David (Magen David) has origins in Judaism and Judean culture that predate the Freemasons and their organization as a movement. Therefore, the Star of David is not an endemic Masonic Symbol in the way that the Trowel is an endemic Masonic Symbol. However, while the Star of David has a very clear meaning in Judaism and very clear origins in Judaism, the origins and applications of the Star of David in Masonic circles are shrouded in mystery.
