I heard you talking about the star of David or Hexagram. I wasn't trying to pry, but it caught my attention for a second. I was telling Sara that that star is a Hexagram, but I couldn't remember much about it. To my understanding, this did not become a symbol used by the Israelites until after their Babylonian captivity when they mixed the Torah with the Kabbalah. So I went back to the site to re-familiarize myself with it and here are two links you may want to look at. http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefshexagram.htm http://altreligion.about.com/library/glossary/symbols/bldefsmagen.htm Dallas and Sarah wrote again after we talked about the subject on the phone: Hello Victor: I was thinking about our conversation on the phone yesterday about the Hexagram and we have some things we'd like you to consider about it. I don't think that we should use the symbol. I'm not being superstitious as Paul suggested. To me it is this simple: This is not something ordained by God (like crosses and pictures of Christ).

Refuting Pieter van der Horst’s Error in “The Origins of Christian Anti-Semitism”
Jews write a document recording Jews persecuting Jews, and now Jews call this document the origin of anti-Semitism and blame it on the Gentiles. It is called the New Testament. Pieter van der Horst, though not a Jew that we know, only serves to support this irony.
