Magen David, Star of David
The Magen David Usually, when we think about a "Magen David," we imagine a six- pointed star, the "Star of David". In fact, the Talmudic reference has nothing to do with a star at all. Pesachim 117b; Rabbah b. Shila said: [The formula] in Prayer is ‘who causes the horn of Salvation to spring forth,’ while that of the haftarah is ‘the shield of David.’ And I will make you a great man, like the name of the great ones [that are in the earth the earth]. (II Samuel 7:9) R, Joseph taught: that alludes to the fact that we say ‘the shield of David.’
