A new story from my dear friend Ernest Itzkovitch from Toronto:

The Pomegranate — Shell, Fruit, Seeds, Juice
Red-purple in color, the pomegranate fruit has two parts: an outer shell=hard and an inner=soft/spongy. The fruit includes an inner wall, seeds, membranes, and juice, organized as a-symmetrical cells. The number of seeds in a pomegranate — 613.

What is the Essence of Connection of the Pomegranate to Nature’s Gift for Israel’s 72nd Birthday & Independence Day?
As we are aware/understand, the Pomegranate is a very special fruit that has a very unique and symbolic connection among its components, similar to the Human Body. In corporeality, our external behavior toward each other is hard, like a nutshell, however, our internal feeling may vary between two extreme opposites — from harsh (called also as left/desire to receive) to love (right — desire to give) and we typically try to show our positive side of our external image — to “look good”.
Until Corona it worked, but after Corona and moving forward- it may change, either by our choice or Nature’s will/actions.

In the “brand new world” (i.e. Post Corona Era) will point out and appreciate/praise only people (i.e. The New Generation of Global Leaders) who are truly connected and dedicate themselves to take care of others first, and later on themselves.

Israel, as all of us are aware, is a small country (geographically and population) but a very dominant and One of the Top Notch leading countries in the Global arena — in medicine (i.e. vaccine for Corona, High tech, Innovations, Nobel prizes..) and will definitely continue to dominate and lead the future of humanity in the whole world for “Mutual Responsibility”.

Nature (i.e.Corona) connected all of us As One (Ref. to my previous articles on “Integral Education”) and expecting from us to be more closer and upgrade our relationships for good and much better than we had before. For example, friendly collaboration can be achieved among competitors also (we don’t need to destroy each other — just share resources fairly).
Businesses that will adopt and behave based on Social Responsibility may lay the foundation for “Balance with Nature”. We should remind ourselves & educate others all times-that our good fortune and destiny lies in our “Good Relations”.

Apparently ad symbolically, both 72 and 613 are a very significant number from the times of “Babylon Tower to This Day”:
72: based on the internet, 72 was the number of languages spoken while building the “Babylon Tower” and also
72 — plays a big role in math calculations and economic models, estimating the double-time for investments.
On top of it — 613 — is the symbol of good deeds that people should think and do to each other by right & correct relations.

So if 2020 is the turning point of Global Humanity for C4G (Connecting for Good), let's sing together “Living in Unity” song:
