What does the Jew symbol mean?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 3

A mezuzah is found on doorposts in Jewish homes. It is a little case, containing a tiny scroll. The writing on the scroll is from The Bible. It is in Hebrew and is called the Shema. It says that Jewish people should love God and keep his rules. The symbol or emblem of the Jewish people is the Magen David (Shield of David), also known as the Star of David. The Menorah is one of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith. It is a candelabrum with seven candle holders displayed in Jewish synagogues. It symbolises the burning bush as seen by Moses on Mount Sinai. The two most common menorahs have seven and nine candle-holders. The term hanukiahor chanukiah, refers to the nine-candled holder used during the Jewish festival of Hanukkah.
