An interesting scientific study detailing the actual number of seeds found in a pomegranate. According to mesorah, the rimon has 613 seeds and this study actually shows that the average number of seeds found different pomegranates from around the world is 613! This is a fascinating piece of trivia which can be shared with the class as a supplement to a lesson on Rosh Hashanah and the simanim or shivas haminim.
