This nice man at Jerusalem's Machane Yehuda open-air market was happy to press me some sweet pomegranate juice today.
See?! Here is comes!.
As our grandmothers always said, "Kos briut!" (a glass full of good health!).

The shuk is full now with big red pomegrantes because it is a symbolic food for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year starting this Sunday evening.

(This little look into the huge fresh produce market is for Our World Tuesday meme.)

Looks good!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteWhat grows in nature, certainly can only be good. Over here, they are mostly still green.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the inspiration. Please have a good Tuesday.
now you know it is fresh juice. So good. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks delish! Happy Holiday to you ~ enjoy ~ great photo ~ (A Creative Harbor)
ReplyDeleteDina, did you know that we (I mean Iranians) have the same tradition of eating pomegranate on some of our holidays? Pomegranate is a big deal on the Yalda night. I love it when I find out cross-cultural similarities.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Just came to say hi to you. It's been a while. Hope you are doing great.
I like pomegranates, but it is certainly a lot of work to eat one! Having some one juice it for you is a real help.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your holiday!
I love pomegranate juice. What a way to have it served.
ReplyDeleteI could try that. The juice looks good.
ReplyDeleteI would love fresh pomegranate juice!
ReplyDelete*nod* the timing is perfect. All the shanah tovah cards I have received this week have some connection to pomegranates.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy, healthy and sweet New Year!
Friends, thank you, I drink "To your health!"
ReplyDelete"Green," it is great to see you again. I follow your Chicago Photos faithfully. Always nice and unusual shots of my hometown.
We drank a lot of this when we were kids, now I prefer orange juice...
ReplyDeletePomegranates are beautiful and so are the trees they grow on! We have them here in California too. However, it has been decades since I've attempted to eat one! I recall them being rather tart...those tiny little kernels of red juiciness!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good, Dina! I've never had pomegranate juice, but at the next opportunity I must try it.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, that would be absolutely perfect right now!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh...really FRESH juice!!! sounds yummy!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until the fall rains. I purchased a pom tree. I love them both visually, symbolically and to eat
ReplyDeleteDina, in class today I lectured on the 7 fruits of the Land, and I remembered your pictures from yesterday. With permission, I will show them in class as the AFTER when I show the pics of the "on the vine" BEFORES.
ReplyDeleteMany Thanks
Friends, sounds like we all have to get together for a juice party.
ReplyDeleteDr. M, tiffadal. I'm always happy if my pictures teach someone something.
Oh yummy! I just bought one today at the supermarket. A far cry from Mahane Yehuda but we can toast. 'Here's to life! May is be sweet Dina!"
ReplyDeleteWe should have it here too.
ReplyDeleteYum. Ours aren't ripe yet.
