The Seven Species are each mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as special foods indigenous to the Land of Israel. According to the Mishnah, only the first fruits from harvests of the Seven Species could be brought to the Temple as offerings. Today, the Seven Species are an integral part of Israeli and Jewish cuisine, and also feature in holiday celebrations - especially for Tu BiShvat, Rosh Hashanah, and Sukkot - and are considered an important symbol of Eretz Yisrael, the Land of Israel.

These special species of produce - pomegranates, figs, dates, olives, wheat, barley, and grapes - are commonly featured as decorative motifs on Judaica and Jewish art, including on housewarming or wedding gifts. Adorning your home with the Seven Species is a beautiful way to connect to the Land of Israel and to our Biblical tradition!

We have rounded up ten of our favorite items from our collection of Seven Species gifts made by Israeli artists and uniquely inspired by these special fruits and grains. Find your favorite, just in time for Tu BiShvat 2024!
