The concept of a "shield of David" with magical powers may ac- tually have arisen first either in Islam, where the Koran portrays David as the first to fashion pro- tective arms, or from esoteric traditions of Jewish mysticism. The oldest kabalistic texts referring to the shield of David do not describe a hexagram but the hidden holy name of 72 names engraved on a protective shield together with the name MKBY which was connected to Judah Mac- cabee. In the 16th Century, for reasons not entirely clear to historians, the hexagram was substituted for the "great name of 72 names" and became one of the most widespread de- signs for protective amulets. In the 19th Century, Jews desired to put forth a strik- ing and simple sign which would represent Judaism in the way that the cross sym- bolizes Christianity. This led to the general preva- lence of the Magen David on ritual objects. Emanating from Cen- tral and Western Europe, its influence extended to Eastern Europe and among oriental Jewry. It became the common decoration of almost every synagogue, and countless private and charitable organizations printed it on their let- terheads. In 1822, the Rothschild family put it on their coat of arms when they were raised to the nobility by the Austrian emperor . DON'T BE LEFT IN THE COLD! MAKE YOUR WINTER TRAVEL PLANS NOW!

ACCEPTED and from 1940 Heinrich Heine, in spite of his con- version, signed his news- paper articles with a six-pointed star instead of his name. The first issue of Herzl's Zionist journal, "Die Welt," used it as its emblem and the Magen David became the symbol of a new hope for the future of the Jewish people. In kabalistic circles, the "shield of David" became the "shield of the son of David" implying messianic overtones. Franz Rosenzweig interpreted it as summing up his philosophical ideas about Judaism and the relation- ships between man, his world and the Creator. When the Nazis used it as a badge of shame accom- panying millions to their death, it took on added meaning for the hope of suf- fering humanity to over- come the brutality of their fellow man. The state of Israel put the Star of David on its national flag and in con- temporary usage it is probably the most corn- mon denominator of Jewish identification. The true meaning of the hexagram is more difficult to define than the historical facts of its known influence. The concept of two equilat- eral triangles intersecting with the same center suggests an image of the sharing of opposites. The six-pointed star as an emblem of the unique unity of the universe would thus indicate the union of all con- tradictions with total con- junction and perfect har- mony — in a word: peace. sat= KOSHER THE KOSHER VACATIONS HOTEL POOL SUN CLUB WINTER 1980-81 Reopening 0 NOVEMBER 24 GLATT as always NATIONAL KASHRUTH CALL TOLL FREE 1- 800.327-4523 On The Ocean at 21s1 St Miami Beach • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • THE FAMILY JACOBS • • !- ,,o!t, yEAR • • • PUERTO RICO • • • • • • • • OCEANFRONT • • • LKsi 25tBhO&AcRD0LWLAIN • • • MIAMI B EACH, FLA. 33139 4•• • Open 011 year KOSHE R • • • ALL Rooms ilia f.e. ,,, e A • • Co'oc TV • A,r Canc,tic•,ec • • neffg • Strict 0.eta'y Lacs • music • Enteirainmer't • Poo. • • Soc'a; Pi og!a^is • r , ee C:ta.ses • • •• ind , victua!

Premier Says Lebanon Raids Will Continue TEL AVIV (JTA) — Pre- mier Menahem Begin said Sunday that the raid car- ried out by Israeli forces in south Lebanon last Thurs- day night was not the first of its kind and will not be the last. He said the operation was yet another step in Is- rael's continuing preemp- tive war against the ter- rorists. A military communique issued after the attack said at least nine terrorists were killed and .six buildings were destroyed along with fortified positions and ve- hicles. The attacking forces, composed of paratroops and an infantry brigade, suf- fered no casualties and re- turned safely to their bases, the communique said. The targets were Jarmaq and Shaika villages north- west of the Litani River. Ac- cording to the communique, these were bases from which artillery and Katyusha rocket attacks were launched against Is- raeli border villages and against the Christian enclave in south Lebanon. They were manned by about 20 terrorists, most of them members of the Iraqi- sponsored Arab Liberation Front which is held respon- sible for the attack on Kibutz Misgav Am earlier this year. • • • ; 22 INCLUDES MEALS - • Per Pers Day.
