Perele reaches out to pick a fruit off the lower branches. Even at her height, they prove elusive. She tightens her headscarf and climbs. The years haven’t eroded her natural agility and she manages to collect a nice amount, ripe and inviting, into her billowing skirt. Her husband Mordechai loves it when she decorates his morning salad with the sweetly tart seeds. And, besides, a glass of pomegranate juice is said to be good for your heart.
