About this deal

The Flag and the Emblem" (MFA). "According to Scholem, the motive for the widespread use of the Star of David was a wish to imitate Christianity. During the Emancipation, Jews needed a symbol of Judaism parallel to the cross, the universal symbol of Christianity." While thesix-point star has a fascinating history ( which we recently explored over at our blog!), it has become a way to wear one's Jewishness in contemporary times. This is why Star of David jewelry has become an incredibly popular gift category for Hanukkah, bar and bat mitzvahs, birthdays, and other occasions. There are dozens of Israeli designers known for incorporating this iconic Jewish symbol into their luxurious jewelry, using only the finest metals and stones. Other artists choose to unleash their creativity and use the traditional symbol in new and unique ways. Regardless of your own personal aesthetic or budget, there's something for everyone.

The Star of David first appears in Jewish sources beginning in the Second Temple period primarily as a decorative motif. Starting in the Middle Ages, the symbol begins to appear in religious texts, Jewish family seals and Jewish establishments in Central and Southern Europe before moving to Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East as well. By the 19 th century, the Star of David attained its prominence as a Jewish symbol, so much so that it is the highlight of the Israeli flag.Jacob Newman; Gabriel Sivan; Avner Tomaschoff (1980).

The earliest known text related to Judaism which mentions a sign called the "Shield of David" is Eshkol Ha-Kofer by the Karaite Judah Hadassi, in the mid-12th century CE: The Star of David - Magen David". Archived from the original on October 7, 2011 . Retrieved May 11, 2011.

The Hebrew name for the Star of David, Magen David (meaning "Shield of David"), originates from the Middle Ages and was found in Jewish religious texts, such as prayer books and mystical works. David Wolffsohn (1856–1914), a businessman prominent in the early Zionist movement, was aware that the nascent Zionist movement had no official flag, and that the design proposed by Theodor Herzl was gaining no significant support, wrote: Our Jewish wedding rings are more than mere ornaments. They are a celebration of love, tradition, and commitment. With inscriptions like "Ani Ledodi" and traditional blessings, they carry deep sentimental value, perfect for the sacred bond of marriage. Hebrew Rings - Carrying Blessings and Beliefs The Star of David at least since the 20th century remains associated with the number seven and thus with the Menorah, and popular accounts [ unreliable source?] associate it with the six directions of space plus the center (under the influence of the description of space found in the Sefer Yetsira: Up, Down, East, West, South, North, and Center), or the Six Sefirot of the Male ( Zeir Anpin) united with the Seventh Sefirot of the Female (Nukva). [25] Some say that one triangle represents the ruling tribe of Judah and the other the former ruling tribe of Benjamin. It is also seen as a dalet and yud, the two letters assigned to Judah. There are 12 Vav, or "men", representing the 12 tribes or patriarchs of Israel.
