The Star of David is a six-pointed star made up of two quadrilateral triangles superimposed over each other, also known as a hexagram. In Hebrew it is known as the Mage David, which means the "shield of David." It doesn't have any religious significance in Judaism, but it is one of the symbols most commonly associated with the Jewish people. The origins of the Star of David are unclear. We do know that the symbol hasn't always been associated exclusively with Judaism, but was used by Christians and Muslims at various points in history. The Star of David was eventually cemented as a Jewish symbol when it became a favourite architectural decoration on Jewish buildings throughout the Middle Ages. According to German-born Israeli philosopher and historian Gershom Sholem, many Jews adopted this symbol in Eastern Europe in an effort to match the prevalence of the Christian cross. There are many ideas about the symbolic meaning of the Star of David. Some Kabbalists thought that the six points represented God's absolute rule over the universe in all six directions: north, south, east, west, up, and down. Kabbalists also believed that the two triangles represented humanity's dual nature - good and evil - and that the star could be used as protection against evil spirits. The structure of the star, with two overlapping triangles, has also been thought to represent the relationship between God and the Jewish people. The star that points up symbolizes God, and the star that points down represents Jews on Earth. Yet others have noticed that there are 12 sides on the triangle, perhaps representing the Twelve Tribes.
