Pomegranate

Before we eat the Pomegranate we say…

יְהִי רָצוֹן מִלְּפָנֶיךָ, ה’ אֶלֹקֵינוּ וֵאלֹקֵי אַבוֹתֵינוּ, שֶׁנַרְבֶּה זְכֻיּוֹת כְּרִמּוֹן

Which means….

May it be your will, Hashem our G-d and G-d of our forefathers, that our merits should increase like the [seeds of] the pomegranate.

The Pomegranate is round with a crown on it’s head. It contains many seeds like the 613 Mitzvos we do. We Crown Hashem as our King once again on Rosh Hashanah and once again promise to strengthen all the 613 connections we have to Hashem, our king, even stronger this coming year.
