According to the Midrash, the pomegranate contains 613 seeds — corresponding to the precise number of mitzvot in the Torah. It is only fitting that we have adopted the fruit — a physical representation of responsibility, sustenance, and nourishment — as the symbol of our society made up of generous women who build and sustain Jewish L.A. with their gift of $1,800 to our Federation’s Annual Campaign.
