The pomegranate fruit is one of THE 7 SPECIES listed in the Torah, the Jewish Bible. It was one of the acceptable offerings in the ancient Temple of Jerusalem. Its multiple seeds represent prosperity and abundance.
Pomegranates, with their unique shape and color, are a popular motif in Jewish art and artifacts.
