SILVER STAR OF DAVID PENDANT
The
Star (Shield) of David, also called Magen David, is a relatively
new Jewish symbol. Supposedly, it represents the shape of King
David's
shield (but there is no rabbinic support for that claim). The
symbol is very rare in early Jewish literature.
Is there any theological significance to the symbol? Some claim
that the top triangle strives upward, toward G-d, while the lower
triangle strives downward, toward the real world
