Shanah Tovah to all my friends !

Rosh ha-Shanah customs include sounding the shofar, a hollowed-out ram's horn, as prescribed in the Torah, following the prescription of the Hebrew Bible to "raise a noise" on days of public prayers. Among rabbinical customs is attending synagogue services and reciting special liturgy, as also enjoying festive meals. Like eating traditional foods and fruits such as the pomegranate, a symbol of prosperity and fertility.
Pomegranates are one of the Seven Species (Hebrew: שבעת המינים, Shiv'at Ha-Minim) of fruits and grains enumerated in the Hebrew Bible (Deuteronomy 8:8) as special products of the Land of Israel, and the Songs of Solomon contains this quote: "Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely, thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks." (Song of Solomon 4:3).
Additionally, pomegranates symbolize the mystical experience in the Jewish mystical tradition, or kabbalah, with the typical reference being to entering the "garden of pomegranates" or "pardés rimonim".
