Minyan Rimonim has its own list server, called NYCAC-RIMONIM. Members of the minyan and those interested in the minyan are invited to "subscribe".  Currently, a very large percentage of the minyan has subscribed to the list server.

Why Rimonim?

Rimonim is the Hebrew word for pomegranates. The pomegranate is notable for its beautiful red flowers, shapely fruit, sweet flavor and its prodigious number of seeds.   In the bible, the pomegranate is mentioned as one of the seven species emblematic of Israel's agricultural fertility.  When the Israelite spies surveyed Canaan they brought back pomegranates to Moses as proof of the land's abundance.  In the Song of Songs, the pomegranate figures prominently in the imagery of love and sensuality and its color is associated with fire and passion.

According to the midrash, there are exactly 613 seeds within the pomegranate corresponding to the number of mitzvot prescribed in the torah.  Israel is compared to a pomegranate, as full of good deeds as this fruit is of seeds.

The above is adapted from The Encyclopedia of Jewish Symbols by Ellen Frankel and Betsy Platkin Teutsch
