What are some of the major symbols of Judaism?

Answer 1

The Menorah is the ancient symbol of Jewish faith. It is a seven-branched candelabrum that was lit by the Kohanim (high priests) every evening in the Temple (in Jerusalem). In modern times, there is a something called a ner tamid: a lamp or torch that represents the menorah. You will also find many artistic interpretations of the menorah among the decor of any synagogue (we are not allowed to accurately replicate objects of The Temple).

At Chanukah, you'll often see an eight-branched candelabrum that some call a "menorah" but a more accurate term for that object is a "chanukkiah".

While the Star of David is commonly associated with Judaism, it's use is relatively new. The earliest uses of the Magen David among Jewish literature only dates back to the middle ages.

Answer 2

The menorah has been used as a Jewish symbol for over 2000 years. It represents the candelabrum described in Exodus 25:31-40, that was used in the Holy Temple.

The dove is also an ancient Jewish symbol, because the Jewish nation is compared to a dove in Songs 2:14.

Another ancient Jewish symbol is the citron (in Hebrew: etrog), a citrus fruit that is used in a ritual on the festival of Sukkot, as described in Leviticus 23:40.

A vine is also an old Jewish symbol, a reference to Psalm 80:9

In recent times a six-pointed star, called magen david("David's shield"), came into use as a Jewish symbol, though nobody seems to know why. It is formed by drawing an equilateral triangle pointing up, and another one over it pointing down. This symbol appears on the flag of the State of Israel.
