A Crowning Glory.

Rimonim... a Hebrew word for two things. First, our fruit of the week... the pomegranate. Second, for the handles of the torah scroll. The crown of the pomegranate is crown-shaped, and it has been told that Solomon designed his crown based on it.

This lovely necklace is meant to adorn the neck of some woman during the high holidays- Maybe you? It is from the artist Rony who works in many different media including polymer clay, ceramic, Stained Glass, fiber and jewelry design.

Abundant Blessings...

For those of you who regularly have read my blog over the years, you know that I have a "thing" for pomegranates. Not only are they delicious and healthy, but they are filled with much lore. I recently learned that it is considered especially auspicious to eat pomegranates during the new year. I am hoping the same holds true when one features pomegranate ART around the new year.

The colorful pomegranate above is the work of Two Hands Studio in Karkur, Israel.

Cleaning up our act!

The nice thing about the new year, is that it encourages us to improve ourselves, to wash away our sins (tashlich).

Are you looking for a gift to help your come clean too? Click on the hand crafted soaps below and find out where to purchase them. And given the season, they are of an apple and honey nature!!! They are so pretty you almost would be reluctant to use them!!
