Selecting your Lulav & Etrog
The
Lulav:
The lulav should be straight & fresh looking. The main criteria
for a kosher lulav is to check that the
middle leaf is not split. This is quite tricky to check but rest
assured at Sukkahmart's Lulav & Etrog centre it has already been checked for you. Mind the thorns!
The Etrog:
Cleanliness and symmetry of shape are the primary factors
when choosing your Etrog but watch out you
don't want any black spots on it. The colour quality of the fruit and bumps
on it are optional in making it more special. Did you know that all citrus fruits grow with a Pitom but in most cases it falls off? With an Etrog too if the Pitom has
fallen while the Etrog is still on the tree it's still kosher to use. This
can be easily ascertained by an experienced eye.
The Haddasim & Aravot:
These are pre-packed for extra freshness & should be kept in their
packaging in the fridge until Erev Yom Tov (Eve of the 1st day of Sukkot). Just place them in their holder
on the lulav before Yom Tov and remember that the Hadassim (Myrtle
twigs) go on the right of the Lulav spine & the Aravot (Willow
branches) go on
the left. |
