The
Jewish Pomegranate is a prominent symbol of 'righteousness' and 'fruitfulness' and is traditionally given as a
Jewish gift during high holidays. Traditionally, Hebrew priests have woven the Jewish pomegranate into their robes and it's symbolism is reflected in the art of King Solomon's temple in Jerusalem.
It is known as the symbol for 'righteousness' in Judaism as the Pomegranate's 613 seeds parallel the 613 mitzvot, or commandments, of the Hebrew Torah. Hence, the revered Jewish Pomegranate is eaten during the holy holidays of Rosha HaShanah and Sukkot. Furthermore, the symbol of the Pomegranate has surfaced on early Hebrew coins and is believed to have been the 'forbidden fruit' within the Garden of Eden (Gan Eden).
The hand-crafted Pomegranate created by the
Jewish artist, Naomie, serves as a traditional gift of sacred Jewish symbolism by those who are blessed to receive them.
