With around 4,000 years of history, the Jewish world is full of interesting, fun, and fascinating stories.

And if you’re a sucker for Jewish trivia, like me, or if you just love to learn new things which aren’t necessarily common knowledge, you’ll enjoy this list of five peculiar stories about Judaism.

In this edition:

  1. The Star of David’s surprising history

  2. The unlikely person who propelled the founding of a major Jewish organization

  3. An unexpected connection between King Solomon and modern psychology

  4. How the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was rooted in Jewish law

  5. The reason some Jews don’t put flowers on graves (and what they do instead)
