A Salvaged Star of David at the NY Sanitation Department’s East Harlem Warehouse

A Timeline Of Trash Lives On In The Sanitation Department’s East Harlem Warehouse:

From the outside the building looks like a warehouse. It’s owned by New York’s Sanitation Department in East Harlem. On the second floor decades of trash come to life; from a Furbie graveyard to Pez dispensers and Troll dolls. There are also typewriters, art, political memorabilia, and other odds and ends in the collection that has been Nelson Molina’s passion project.

For him collecting items from the trash began at age 9...Molina said he’s never surprised by what people throw out.

"The actual star of David is made from the steel from one of the World Trade Centers," he said. Molina isn’t quite sure what the value of all the items is.

"It’s worth a lot of money. I know it is, but I just wouldn’t know," he said. Because one man’s trash is Molina’s treasure.

I invite you again to open your Belly Center to Presence, your Head Center to Wisdom and Vision, your Heart Center to Compassion, Healing Presence, Innate Harmony, Unconditional, Love...As you are doing this, I also invite you to take the Sacred Geometry of the Star of David into your being. Allow it to expand into a three-dimensional geometric which you might experience/imagine as interlocking pyramids. Begin to sense these pyramids spinning.

The Star of David Origins of Kabbalah's Tree of Life

As we said, we don’t know if this was the exact process undertaken, but since the final result is a perfect replication of the Lurianic Tree, it’s hard to imagine arriving at this result without using a hexagon and an inscribed Star of David in some fashion similar to what we’ve done above. Additionally, there is a way to cut a cube in half so that the cross-section is a hexagon instead of a square, and this construction allows us to fully embed the tree within the cube, as is suggested by one of our above passages from the Bahir. The result is a truly beautiful diagram that combines the imagery of the Tree of Life with its predecessor model the Cube of Space. What follows are some images of this construction as seen from a variety of vantage points. Also, notice how appropriate it is that the center of the tree corresponds precisely with the center of the cube. Furthermore,this construction requires 49 lines (12 edges of the cube, 3 spatial axes, 6 sides of a hexagon, 6 for the Star of David, and 32 for the paths of the Tree of Life), and coincidentally this number is exactly the number of Hebrew letters in that declaration of faith known as the Shema.

Yes, there is a Star of David on the U.S. Dollar Bill!

Addressing the Republican Jewish Coalition today, Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson told a story about how the Star of David came to be on the U.S. dollar bill.
Only one problem: There’s no Star of David on the dollar bill.

Carson was telling the story of wealthy Jewish merchant Haym Salomon, who is said to have been a major financier of George Washington’s troops during the Revolutionary War.

"Salomon gave all his funds to save the U.S. Army and, some say, no one knows for sure, that’s the reason there’s a Star of David on the back of the one dollar bill," Carson said in Washington, D.C.

There is a conspiracy theory that a design of stars arranged above the eagle on the U.S. seal printed on the bill forms a Jewish star and that this was done as a way to thank Salomon for his generosity.

But the Numismatic Bibliomania Society’s Wayne Homren says there’s no evidence to suggest any truth to support the theory that the stars were intentionally arranged to represent the Jewish star, let alone that it was done in Salomon’s name.

“If you squint, you can say there’s some resemblance but that certainly was not the intention of the designers, that we’re aware,” Homren told ABC News.

As it relates to Salomon specifically, Homren said, there is no mention of the Jewish merchant in the extensive collection of historical documents chronicling the design of the U.S. seal.
“All I know is there’s nothing any of us have discovered in the documentation that would support that,” he said.

“There are letters and other correspondence between members of Congress and people in the government about what the seal would look like and what it would contain,” Homren continued. “There are at least two thick books written about how the seal was created and nobody recognized anything about a Star of David.”

I don't think there's a Star of David on the Dollar Bill, I KNOW THERE IS. Observe-

Fire + Water = Star of David

In Palestine there was a parallel theoretical development that showed a similar concern with the opposing qualities of fire and water and so with the possible employment of the Hexagram to symbolize their union.

- The Universal Kabbalah, by Leonora Leet

One feature of this ancient science that appears to have surfaced alike in the teachings of Maria Hebraea and the Sefer Yetzirah is a peculiar joint definition of a fire above and water below, which in the later alchemical tradition was identified with the figure of the hexagram and given a Hebrew origin in the names by which it was known, Solomon's Seal and the Shield of David.

Star of David Boxing Shorts, 1933

But if I could choose one fight that Baer, whose father was Jewish, could be remembered for, it would be–and you may call me biased–his defeat of the German Max Schmeling in 1933. Schmeling squared off against Baer in a highly touted fight at Yankee Stadium just months after Hitler assumed power in 1933. Schmeling wasn’t a Nazi and was said to have a Jewish manager, but it wasn’t lost on Baer that Schmeling was said to be Hitler’s favorite boxer...Baer, despite not being religiously Jewish and tending not to be claimed by Jews, donned trunks that were emblazoned with the Star of David.
