Spotlight on Pomegranates
The pomegranate is a fruit filled with symbolic meaning: it is often used as the new fruit, it is said to have 613 seeds, corresponding to the 613 mitzvot (commandments) in the Torah, and it is also a symbol of fertility, thereby giving us unlimited possibilities for the New Year.

For the Little Ones
With just a little supervision, even your youngest toddlers can get in on the holiday fun.
