 Inspired by the sweet shape 

of young pomegranates (just 
what you’d expect from a com-
pany called Pomegranate, whose 
designs are influenced by the art 
of Indian hand block printing), the 

Pom Bells Fern & 
Poppy Table Runner 
and Tea Towels from the 
same collection feature 
plump pomegranates in 
coral and salmon and 
tree branches with vibrant 
green leaves. Accent 
with Pomegranate’s 
Green Starburst 
Woven Placemats.

 Israeli artist, storyteller and “guardian of 

Jewish tradition” Yaeli Vogel, founder of 
Yaeli Fine Art, created Yaeli Home, based in 
Cedarhurst, New York, to bring her stunning, 
fluid and spiritual artwork to functional fruition in 
the form of tabletop, textiles and heirloom Judaica, 
with a mission to inspire others through Judaism. 
Here, she sets a table with pieces from her Red Rimon 
Collection (rimon is Hebrew for pomegranate, symbolic of wis-
dom and knowledge): reusable (use dry erase markers) pomegran-
ate-shaped Rimon Placecards (set of 4), ceramic Honey Dish for 
Rosh Hashanah with Spoon and Rich Harvest Place Mats (set of 4). 
Also on the table (or a brilliant gift idea) are Vogel’s Rosh Hashanah 
Simanim Cards (set of 4, in Hebrew and English): The Rosh 
Hashanah seder takes participants through the Rosh Hashanah meal 
with a series of symbolic food — the simanim (translating to “signs” 
or “indicators”) — including honey, apples, pomegranates, fish, spin-
ach, dates and more, signifying a good year to come. Yaelivogel.com.

 Inspired by Marimekko of Finland and Ken 

Donne in her native Australia, Barbara 
Shaw made aliyah to Israel in 1986; 
her company, Barbara Shaw Gifts, 
offers original, bold Israel- and 
Jewish-themed designs (her own, 
like this Rosh Hashanah Apples 
& Bees Glass Serving Plate 
and Challah Cover, as well as 
guest artisans, many Israeli) in her 
all-women, ethical workshop on tex-
tiles, ceramics, serveware, wood, glass, 
stationery, T-shirts and more — including a 
Yiddish collection — which can be found at her two shops 
in Jerusalem plus Jewish museum gift shops around the 
world, her website and Etsy. Barbarashawgifts.com.
