In the Bible

"A land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig-trees and pomegranates; a land of olive-trees and honey."
--DEUTERONOMY 8:8

One of the seven holy species of the Land of Israel, the pomegranate has evolved throughout the course of Jewish history into an icon representing righteousness and devotion, due to its 613 seeds which correspond to the 613 Mitzvahs (commandments) required of each and every Jew. For this reason, the pomegranate adorns countless pieces of Judaica and Jewish artwork; a constant reminder of the responsibilities of being one of God's people. Keep this treasured piece with its strong symbolism close to your heart and on your walls each and every day.
