The רִימוֹן or pomegranate is one of the symbolic foods eaten at the Rosh Hashanah seder.

Its sweet and plentiful seeds represent the mitzvot and good deeds we aspire to perform in the year to come. 

This is slightly different to the misunderstanding that a pomegranate contains 613 seeds to represent the 613 mitzvot…that would be one giant pomegranate!

Here are some beautiful artworks created by Morah Martine and her students.
