The periodical Rimon emerged from an increasing interest in Hebrew and Yiddish culture after World War I. It featured high quality reproductions of art and illustrations and included articles about art, literature, music, and theater. A Yiddish version of the publication, Milgroym, included the same artwork, but it contained essays by different contributors. Both titles, one in Hebrew and one in Yiddish, mean “pomegranate.” Intended for audiences across the European continent, the United States, and Palestine, Rimon and Milgroym promoted the concept of a shared culture across international and ideological lines. The magazine ceased publication after only six issues, appearing from 1922-1924.
