rosh Hashanah pomegranate for jewish new year custom products

We have learned a lot here at just fine designs this month As Rosh Hashanah is approaching.

Rosh Hashanah or the Jewish New Year begins on September 29th and goes through until the 1st of October (2019).

During Rosh Hashanah it is traditional to eat lots of sweet food, or more properly, there is a custom to refrain from bitter, sour or tart foods.

This is to symbolize the wish for a sweet and pleasant year.

A Sweet and Pleasant Year. What a lovely sentiment!

A Pomegranate is one highly held sweet, New Year fruit.

A Bit of History of the Pomegranate

Pomegranates have been cultivated in Israel (and throughout the Middle East) for thousands of years, and they continue to grow there in abundance.

The Pomegranate decorates columns in King Solomon's temple.

However Pomegranates are known as a popular "new fruit," eaten on the second night of Rosh Hashanah, even though they were well-known throughout the Mediterranean region during Biblical times.
