Description
The original Seven Species (Shivat HaMinim) that are named in the Torah is illustrated in rich tones.The beauty of the Land of Israel is described as "... a good land, a land with streams and springs and fountains issuing from plain and hill; a land of wheat and barley, of vines, figs, and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey... "
The Shivat HaMinim contain special levels of holiness. The Kabbalists teach each one channels a spiritual connection. Wheat = Hesed (kindness); barley = Gevura (restraint); Grapes = Tiferet (beauty); figs = Netzach (endurance); pomegranates = Hod (majesty and glory - their stems even look like little crowns!); Olives = Yesod (foundation); Dates = Malchut (kingdom).
