| | Jewish symbolism - Famous Women |
 | | The number seven was the general symbol for all association with God, and was the favorite religious number of Judaism, typifying the covenant of holiness and sanctification, and also all that was holy and sanctifying in purpose. | | | The breastplate was in the center of the ephod, as the earth formed the center of the universe; the girdle symbolized the ocean, the stones on the shoulders the sun and moon, and the jewels in the breastplate the twelve signs of the zodiac, while the miter was a token of heaven. | | | Gold was the symbol of the divine or celestial light, the glory of God (Zech. |

| | Judaism 101: Signs and Symbols |
| | One of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith is the menorah, a seven-branched candelabrum used in the Temple. | | | The Magen David gained popularity as a symbol of Judaism when it was adopted as the emblem of the Zionist movement in 1897, but the symbol continued to be controversial for many years afterward. | | | It has been said that the menorah is a symbol of the nation of Israel and our mission to be "a light unto the nations." (Isaiah 42:6). |

| | What the rabbis say |
| | Rather, by emphasising the Jewish root of Christianity we acknowledge that the Jewish people are the natural branch of God’s chosen people, while Gentiles who believe in Jesus are a wild branch that has been grafted into the faithful assembly of Israel. | | | The apostles who were inspired by God to write the new covenant scriptures, were Jewish. | | | Rabbinical Judaism does not like to acknowledge the Jewish root of Christianity and prefers to maintain the impression that these are two completely distinct religions. |

| | Symbols of Messianic Jews in Israel |
| | Such symbols often relate to national images, like the Menorah or the Star (Shield) of David, that are rooted in the Bible or in Jewish tradition. | | | As the congregational symbol was greatly identified with the personality and work of Kofsman, was not accepted by the new leadership. | | | The message of this symbol is clear: Messiah Yeshua - the Fish - is placed in the center, and the Menorah represents the national Jewish aspect. |

| | Jewish Symbols,etc., are Greek |
| | The equilateral triangle, according to the Hellenic mystics (the Orphics, Pythagoreans, etc), symbolized God, whereas the isosceles triangle [two sides equal, not three] symbolized the Daemons (secondary divinities between gods and men), and the triangle where no side is equal to another symbolized Humanity. | | | This ancient Greek symbol can be seen in the museums of the world on coins, reliefs, Etruscan mirrors, etc. As far as the Arabic language is concerned, this too, according to J. Yahuda, also is of Greek origin. |

| | Christians adopt symbols from Jewish religious practice |
| | For Schweizer and a growing number of evangelical Christians, the ancient symbols of Judaism are no longer the signs of a faith in conflict with theirs, but ritual objects to be incorporated into their own spiritual lives. | | | He fears, too, that some Christians who use Jewish symbols and rituals don't do it out of respect, but rather the conviction that Christianity is the only legitimate religion. | | | But while the shofar has long been considered a symbol of the Jewish faith, Schweizer is a Christian. |

| | OutreachJudaism - Q&A |
| | Such congregations are designed to appear Jewish, but they are actually fundamentalist Christian churches which use traditional Jewish symbols to lure the most vulnerable of our Jewish people into their ranks. | | | Jewish people often feel somewhat uncomfortable just hearing the words "Jesus Christ," and when they see a cross or a church icon, it rarely conjures up warm, affectionate feelings. | | | As an exit-counselor who works with families to reclaim their Jewish family members from these churches, I can testify that the cost in terms of Jewish souls is dear. |

| | Jewish living is designed to make us partners with God in creating a just and compassionate society and to help us live in accordance with God's will and perspective on the world. | | | As symbols, our ritual objects point to that which is holy, for Judaism teaches us to imbue the mundane with a spirit of sanctity. | | | The tallit, for example, a prayer shawl constructed to fulfill the commandment to wear fringes on the corner of one's garments, is worn daily because the fringes, themselves, remind the wearer of his/her religious obligations. |
