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 Deuteronomy 8:8 "A land of wheat and barley and vines and fig
trees and pomegranates. A land of olive oil and honey.
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.
These seven species are customarily eaten on Tu
Bishvat and are considered
more important than other fruits. The First
Fruits offering in the Temple in Jerusalem was brought
from the Seven Species.
