I am a 32 female from Israel leaving in the US. I am looking for a jewish partner to share my life with and build a family. Please if you have any contacts you can provide me with or refer me to other people that are interested in the same thing, i will highly appreciate it. Please take this request seriously as i have no other ways to meet other jewish people. thank you very much for any reply, ori haviv

Where does our Jewish Star come from? My Christian friends wear a cross and it is obvious where that symbol comes from but I never understood the significance of the 6 pointed star that we use. Thank you for your answer.
