And now we are learning that pomegranate is a super food.

Yep. 1984 in real time.
I just started reading Camp of the Saints (I should not confess these things in a prayer thread). So far that is also a spooky real book.

Oops. . .I missed one. I am now caught up.
Agreeing in prayer. I do wish the translators of the NIV would have just put the feet and inches thing in parenthesis for this senior citizen who never really caught on to metric . . .rather than placing the measurements as footnotes. But at least they are there. :) Just sayin’

The title “Camp of the Saints” is from the Book of Revelation (Rev 20:9)

There is plenty to look up on pomegranates and Jewish symbolism, but here's something that may not appear on a general search:

(Rimonim are pomegranates)

Torah scrolls

•On top of the 2 wooden rollers there may be RIMONIM - silver ornaments with BELLS, which were worn on the hem of the High Priest's robe to warn people of his approach. They are a reminder of the majesty of the TORAH & also represent pomegranates, one of the fruits of Israel. The noise of the bells tells everyone, even the blind, that the scrolls are in procession. Alternatively a silver CROWN (KETER) may decorate the rollers, as the TORAH is royal, the crown of Judaism

On a related note (because on the page the first and last words of the Torah are brought up):

The first word in the Torah is Bereshith and the last, Israel. There is much commentary (example here) on the first and last letters of the Torah symbolizing the heart (lev, spelled lamed bet), but taking it out a step from those first and last words...

The next letter after bereshith is a bet, and the letter before Israel is a lamed. So there are actually two hearts.

In Jewish tradition, pomegranates are a symbol of fertility and love, winning them frequent mention in, among other biblical texts, the Song of Songs.

That is so interesting! Thank you!
I am growing pomegranate - most of the trees are too young to bear fruit but I will get enough to eat and share this year.

[Hiskid]

Numbers 6:23. Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye shall say unto them,
24 Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:

25 Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

26 Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

27 So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
