In modern times, the Star of David has become a premier Jewish symbol. This six pointed star, made of two interlocking triangles, can be found on mezuzahs, menorahs, tallis bags and kipot. Ambulances in Israel bear the sign of the red Star of David and the flag of Israel has a blue Star of David planted squarely in the center. While the five pointed star is found in Mesopotamian writings dating to about 3000 BC, in present times it is frequently identified with Christian teachings. This highly symbolic eleven pointed Star of Peace was given to each of the three principal participants of the Camp David Accords, namely, Menachem Begin, Anwar Sadat and President Carter.
