The star of David represents the connection between God and humans. The triangle that points up represents God, and the triangle pointing down represents humans and earth.
The Star of David, which is actually called 'The Shield of David' in Hebrew, is a national non-religious symbol for Jews. It's true origin is unknown but Jewish tradition says that King David's shield had this shape.
The Star of David (or Magen David) is a hexagram and was not unique to Judaism. In the Hellenistic world, hexagrams were used by all religions. In the Middle Ages, Jews, Christians and Muslims used them to ward off demons and fires.
In the fourteenth century, Jewish mystical texts began to use the hexagram image to represent the shield of God used to protect King David. The Star of David first appeared on a Jewish flag in Prague in 1527 when Enlightenment Jews needed a symbol, equivalent to the Christian cross, to represent Judaism.
The Star of David with a Cross in the center is a Messianic Jewish symbol and represents the Messianic Jewish belief that they are still Jewish while accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
The Star of David (Magen David in Hebrew or Mogen Dovid in Yiddish) has been used as a symbol of Judiasm since at least the Middle Ages, though the menorah (the candlestick used during Hanukkah) has been in use for even longer.
It is more correctly termed the Shield of David, and according to Jewish folklaw that is precisely what it is - King David, before he became king, was a poor man who used a cheap shield formed of two interlocking triangles with leather stretched over the top.
In the Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism), it represents the number seven because it's made of six triangles and one hexagon - seven has a significance of its own in Judaism as it's the number of days The Bible says G-d took to create the world.
Exactly why the design came to serve as an internationally-recognised symbol of the Jews and Judaism is not known, but that is what it has come to represent and for that reason it is featured on the Israeli flag.
