Ceramic Pomegranate "Rimon"

Rachel Cadmor has been creating distinctive ceramics for over 40 years. Her inspiration, drawn from her connection to nature and her deep bond to the land, history and people of Israel, can be seen in the shapes she fashions and the inscriptions found on her works.

This unique Ceramic Pomegranate, one of the Biblical seven species, is inscribed with the verses from Psalms 137: 5-7 "If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand wither, let my tongue cleave to my palate if I do not remember you, if I do not set Jerusalem above my highest joy."

Tradition has it that the pomegranate has 613 seeds to represent the 613 Commandments. It is customary to eat a pomegranate as a new fruit on Rosh Hashanah.
