Magen David is a Hebrew term which means "Shield of David". It is another name for the Star of David, a symbol that is widely recognized as the symbol of Judaism. The six-pointed star is formed by two overlapping triangles, which symbolize the connection between God and humanity. There are several synonyms used for the Magen David, including the hexagram, David's shield, Solomon's seal, and the Star of Jacob. Each of these names represents the six-pointed star, and each has its own significance within Judaism. The Magen David remains a significant symbol in modern-day Judaism and is often displayed both inside and outside temples and synagogues.
