Star of David is not a Jewish symbol, scholar claims
Magen David: From mystical talisman to Zionist symbol
In a book by Prof. Gershom Scholem published 27 years after Jewish scholar’s death, Scholem maintains that the Star of David was not an ancient Jewish symbol but rather a magical emblem that was only adopted by Jews in the 19th century
Few books are published 60 years after being written. One such book is Prof. Gershom Scholem’s “Magen David – History of a Symbol”, which is being released only now, 27 years after the author’s death.
