The Star of David is known in Hebrew as the Shield of David or Magen David  The Shield of David is a generally recognized symbol of Jewish identity and Judaism. History of the Shield of David (from Wikipedia)
  The  Star of David in the oldest surviving complete copy of the Masoretic  text, the Leningrad Codex, dated 1008. The Menorah on the Arch of Titus:  notice the three stems on each side plus the central stem, totaling  seven. Likewise the Shield of David came to be understood as seven, with  two triangles of three points each united around a central point.
  
By  modern times, the Shield of David hexagram has become a widely  recognized symbol to represent the Jewish people. However the origins of  this use are complex with obscure developments emerging since medieval  times.
  Regarding the Jewish use of the hexagram symbol, early Jewish literature does not mention it.
  The  use of the hexagram in a Jewish context as a possibly meaningful symbol  may occur as early as the 11th century, in the decoration of the carpet  page of the famous Tanakh manuscript, the Leningrad Codex dated 1008.  Similarly, the symbol illuminates a medieval Tanakh manuscript dated  1307 belonging to Rabbi Yosef bar Yehuda ben Marvas from Toledo, Spain. A  Siddur dated 1512 from Prague displays a large hexagram on the cover  with the phrase, "...
  
The precise origin of the use of the hexagram  as a Jewish symbol remains unknown, but it apparently emerged in the  context of medieval Jewish protective amulets (segulot).
  In the  Renaissance Period, in the 16th-century Land of Israel, the book Ets  Khayim conveys the Kabbalah of Ha-Ari (Rabbi Isaac Luria) who arranges  the traditional items on the seder plate for Passover into two  triangles, where they explicitly correspond to Jewish mystical concepts.  The six sfirot of the masculine Zer Anpin correspond to the six items  on the seder plate, while the seventh sfira being the feminine Malkhut  corresponds to the plate itself.
  With its establishment in 1948, the State of Israel adopted the Shield of David for the Flag of Israel.

Tree of Life with Star of David Pendant
   
27.05 mm diameter Antique silver plating  Tree of live and star of David pendants  The TREE OF LIFE - Etz haChayim in Hebrew is a symbol used in the  Kabbalah to describe the path to Ha Shem and the manner He created the  world out of nothing. The Tree of Life is one of the most familiar of the Sacred Geometry Symbols. The  structure of the Tree of Life is connected to the sacred teachings of  the Jewish Kabbalah but can be seen 3,000 years earlier in Egypt. It  is possible to see the Tree of Life structure in many places around the  universe. The structure is represented in nature and relates to the  Flower of Life. Kabbalists believe the Tree of Life to be a diagrammatic representation of the process by which the Universe came into being. 
On  the Tree of Life, the beginning of the Universe is placed at a space  above the first Sephirah, named Kether ("crown" in English). To the  Kabbalists, it symbolises that point beyond which our comprehension of  the origins of Being cannot go; it is considered to be an infinite  nothingness out of which the first 'thing' (thought of in science and  the Kabbalah to be energy) exploded to create a Universe of multiple  things. Kabbalists also do not envision time and space as pre-existing, and place them at the next three stages on the Tree of Life. First  is Kether, the Crown in English, which is thought of as the product of  the contraction of Ain Soph Aur into a singularity of infinite energy or  limitless light. In the Kabbalah, it is the primordial energy out of  which all things are created. 
The next stage is Chokmah, or  Wisdom, which is considered to be a stage at which the infinitely hot  and contracted singularity expanded forth into space and time. It is  often thought of as pure dynamic energy of an infinite intensity forever  propelled forth at a speed faster than light. It is considered to be  the primordial masculine energy, which is also referred to in Chinese  Taoist philosophy as Yang. Next comes Binah, or Understanding,  which is thought of as the primordial feminine energy, the Supernal  Mother of the Universe which receives the energy of Chokmah, cooling and  nourishing it into the multitudinous forms present throughout the whole  cosmos.   
But the Tree of Life does not only speak  of the origins of the physical Universe out of the unimaginable, but  also of Man's place in the Universe. Since Man is invested with Mind,  consciousness in the Kabbalah is thought of as the fruit of the physical  world, through whom the original infinite energy can experience and  express itself as a finite entity. After the energy of Creation has  condensed into matter, it is thought to reverse its course back up the  Tree until it is once again united with its true nature. Thus,  the kabbalist seeks to know himself and the Universe as an expression of  God, and to make the journey of Return by stages charted by the  Sephiroth, until he has come to the realisation he sought. The  Ten Sefirot include both masculine and feminine qualities. Kabbalah pays  a great deal of attention to the feminine aspects of G-d. (from Wikipedia and other sources)
