The hood is a small hat or jaundice worn on the head when praying; however, the hood is more accustomed to the commandment. Magen David is also known as David of Star. The meaning is deeply complex for the Jews, but for other countries it is the most common symbol of Judaism.

Because Judaism leads followers to practice and faith, it is not only called religion, it is also called ortho. Not all individuals or all cultural phenomena can be classified as "secular" or "religious". This is a regional difference in enlightenment.
