Upon Entering the Sukka

Upon Entering the Sukka 

Customs vary as to what texts to say, when. One suggestion is to say all the text on the first night. 

Thereafter, you might say [1], [5], [6], and the day’s Ushpizin [U] or just [1] or just [6]+[U].

[6] is a general invitation to all seven USHPIZIN (spiritual guests). It is followed by the 

specific inviation to the day’s “special guest”, along with the other six guests (see inside). 

There are two opinions as to the order of the Ushpizin. Some put them in (almost) 

chronological order: Avraham, Yitzchak, Yaakov, Yosef, Moshe, Aharon, David. Others, based 

on Kabalistic considerations list them as we have, with Moshe and Aharon before Yosef. 

[6] is repeated on the Ushpizin chart inside for your convenience. (Don’t say it twice.)

Seder N'tilat Lulav [L&E are not taken on Shabbat] 

(That's what it is called, even though Lulav is only one of the Four Species it is the most prominent) 

The mitzva of the Four Species (hereafter L&E) is performed while STANDING. 

Following is an optional introductory passage to say before performing the mitzva 

of L&E. This can be said before taking L&E in hand, or while holding the 

LulavHadasimAravot “bundle”(AGUDA) in your right hand and the Etrog in your 

left, but not yet joining them. Or by holding the Etrog pitma pointing down until 

after the brachot. Or holding everything and having specific KAVANA to not (yet) 

fulfill the mitzva. See further.

The mitzva of L&E is to take the four species in hand together. 

Therefore, one gets ready to do the mitzva by taking the Lulav 

“bundle”in the right hand and the Etrog in the left, but does not 

hold them together, and preferably has specifically in mind NOT to 

fulfill the mitzva YET; then says the bracha (AND epiigdy the first 

time as well), and THEN holds the L&E TOGETHER and UPRIGHT with 

the intention of fulfilling the mitzva.

This bracha is said at the first fulfillment of the mitzva only.

After the bracha/brachot and the joining of the L&E, 

the mitzva is done, but the custom is to wave the L&E 

in six directions. Keep the L&E upright; hold them close 

to the chest and then extend your hands forward. 

With the L&E in front of you, gently shake them. 

Bring your hands back to your chest. 

Repeat in the same direction two more times. 

Now do the same thing three times to the right. 

Then three times behind you. 

Try not to turn too much in the direction of the 

NA’ANU’IM (waving); face front as best as possible and 

move the L&E in the different directions. Then to the left three times. 

Then up. Then down. Extend, shake, retract. Extend, shake, retract. 

Three times in each of the six directions. 

There are different customs as to the order of these NA'ANU'IM. 

Another custom is SOUTH, NORTH, EAST, UP, DOWN, WEST
