Star of David Necklace 925 Sterling Silver - Jewish Magen David Pendant Charm for Men Women - Handmade Judaica Jewelry

STAR OF DAVID - JEWISH STAR The Star of David is a symbol commonly associated with Judaism and the Jewish People. In Hebrew, it is called Magen David (or Mogein Dovid) which means Shield of David. A six-pointed star, the Star of David is composed of two overlaid equilateral triangles, one pointing up and the other pointing down. The double triangle of the Star of David (Magen David) symbolizes the connection of both dimensions of G?d, Torah and Israel: the external level of the soul connects to the external expression of G?d via studying the exoteric parts of Torah; the essence of the soul connects with G?d’s essence through the study and application of the teachings of Kabbalah. Kabbalah teaches that G?d created the world with seven spiritual building blocks—His seven “emotional” attributes. Accordingly, the entire creation is a reflection of these seven foundational attributes. They are: chesed (kindness), gevurah (severity), tiferet (harmony), netzach (perseverance), hod (splendor), yesod (foundation) and malchut (royalty). Correspondingly, the star contains seven compartments—six peaks protruding from a center.
