I knew the pomegranate has special symbolic value for the Jewish new year Rosh Hashana. I knew the fruit tastes good and is good for you.
But I never realized until looking at this photo that the pomegranate wears a star of David!

Sukkot starts tonight. Chag sameach, happy holiday!

I am not really a fan of pomegranates and have not had one in many years. Not noticed the star before either.
ReplyDeleteHappy holiday! Paul
Magen David Adom is still one of the few thing I can read and pronounce quite correctly in Ivrit...

Oh my goodness! I didn't know that. We used to eat those all the time when we were kids. The fruits used to hang out of people's yards and ....ummmm... the kids would just pluck them to eat on the way home from school. We also ate star fruits, mango and guava. We took them all for granted.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories, Dina. I'll be looking at the pomegranates more carefully now. Shalom!
Look at that!

I love pomegranate and can't wait for them to come in season (another month at least).
ReplyDeleteChag Samach Dina, this is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting discovery! I never noticed that before either.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! There is the star indeed.
ReplyDeleteHow cool! It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I missed this interesting post! Last week I had a visitor and we went away for a few hours.
ReplyDeleteIn the early 1950s we sometimes had a pomegranate when I visited Aunt Alice in Montreal. Very tart fruit.
ReplyDeleteIn 1954 we moved to Fort Lauderdale, and I took a photo of a nice home with a pomegranate tree. There was a sign under, saying, "Yes, it is a pomegranate tree."
In 1978 I moved to Tucson, where I promply planted two pomegranate trees. Prompted by you, I just walked out and picked one. For the first time in decades I noticed the star.
