The stone work cleary features the traditional "star of David" and may have been part of the nearby synagogue.

The basalt foundations under the later limestone structure (larely standing) is still visible. It is not clear from the stone work what its significance as a symbol is.
  • The Star of David (pronounced Da-veed), also known as the Jewish Hexagram or the Satanic Star, is currently used mainly among modern occultists and other angry teens to show their rebelliousness against mainstream religions such as Christianity, Islam, and Parenthood. They sense that all Jews are inherently Satanists - that explains the horns - and while they continuously attempt to join Satan's Chosen People most lack the proper ID.

Central to the symbol's spread among Jewish circles was its adoption by Zionist organizations, in sort of defiance against the scorn expressed by antisemitic organizations. Until that time, the Menorah was still the accepted symbol of the Jewish people, and some Ultra-Orthodox sects (such as Neturei Karta) hold that this tradition should be maintained, while rejecting the Star of David. It has more of a cultural symbolism than a religious one. It is used on the Israeli flag and the shape is often used in jewelry, such as a pendant on a necklace, and worn by Jews similarly to the wearing of a cross by Christians. However, the symbol does not have the religious significance for Jews that the cross has for Christians (representing the martyrdom of Jesus a central event of the faith). From a religious point of view, the Star of David does not represent a specific holiday, ritual, event or have a specific religious meaning. Culturally however, it is a frequently used symbol - often used on interfaith sets of symbols, websites and other places where a "logo" or simple symbol is desired to represent the Jews or Judaism. So, while it may be emotionally meaningful to many, there are no religious rites requiring it or specifying how the star may or should not be used.
