Shanah Tovah 2011 – 5772 High Holy Days Bulletin

For centuries, blessing the Lulav and Etrog has
been the Jewish way of thanking God for the blessings of
the earth on the holiday of Sukkot. By holding the four
species together, we symbolically “get our own act
together” for the New Year. By pointing them in six
directions, we remind ourselves that God’s presence can
be found in every area of our lives. And by shaking the
Lulav and Etrog vigorously, we commit to being movers
and shakers in the world, for good and for blessing.
First take the branch of a Lulav (palm). On the right
side, attach 3 Hadasim (Myrtle branches). On the left,
place 2 Aravot (willows). Now hold them together with a
bright yellow Etrog and give them a good shake.
