Jewish Symbols
Star of DavidThe Star of David was most likely made from David himself. He was not shielded in battle by armor, but instead by God. He was shielded in six directions, above, below, north, east, south, and west, hence the six points on the star.

MenorahIn Hebrew, menorah simply means lamp. Most Jews use it to celebrate Hanukkah, but it can also be used in temple year-round. It is used to show a story of when a one-day supply of oil lasted for eight days.

DreidelDreidels are traditionally used for Hanukkah. The letters on each side mean "a great miracle happened here."
