In this week’s parsha we read of the spies journey and exploration of the land of Canaan. They return with an amazing array of grapes, pomegranate and a fig – a sure sign of providence and a land that is blessed. Although a false tale of giant warriors is the headline, it is the symbolic foods that help sustain the hope and prayers of the faithful. In this week’s Shabbat menu we celebrate with recipes that feature the pomegranate, the delicious fruit of the land that is also incredibly healthy. This time of year is not quite prime season for the fresh fruit, so let’s try the juice.
