Pomegranate Home Blessing

The pomegranate is one of Judaism's most layered symbols. This print brings it home.

Created by Arielle Stein, a NYC-based visual artist and reform Rabbi featured in Vogue, The Guardian and The New York Times, this art print pairs the pomegranate with the words from inside the mezuzah scroll: the Shema and the V'ahavta.

Here, they become the art itself: handwritten Hebrew text filling the page, the pomegranate blooming over it. The result is an alternative blessing for the home — part art object, part ancient tradition.

Painted in liquid watercolor on YUPO paper, just like her Pomegranate Ketubah, and reproduced on museum-grade paperboard. The luminous colors feel like they're alive and still wet.
