The Star of David (Magen David in Hebrew or Mogen Dovid in Ashkenazi Hebrew Shield of David Solomon s Seal or Seal of Solomon) is a generally recognized symbol of Judaism and Jewish identity. It is also known colloquially as the Jewish Star. Kabbalah makes use of this sign arranging the Ten Sephiroth (sefirot spheres) in it. With the establishment of the State of Israel the Jewish Star on the flag of Israel has also become a symbol of Israel.
