== The Rebbe's Approach == Regarding the use of the symbol, in most cases the Rebbe explicitly instructed to remove the symbol. However, there was one isolated case where the Rebbe instructed not to remove the symbol from a tombstone. On one of the days, a Kiddush cup on which the Magen David symbol was engraved in a not-so-prominent way that isn't visible. The Rebbe's menorah is adorned with a Magen David symbol and two lions between which stand the Tablets of the Covenant with rounded tops. This teaches that apparently we have no concept of the king's possessions, and we have his clear instructions. Similarly, in the Torah ark at 770, there is a reminder of the Magen David in its upper part, in a form that is not at all prominent to the eye and is not visible. At 770, when the Rebbe was asked whether to place a Magen David symbol on the paroches (curtain covering the ark), the Rebbe instructed not to place it. And similarly at Beis Rivkah, they received instruction to remove it.
