Tag: Arba Minim

The article discusses the individualized aspects of the Shalosh Regalim, the three pilgrimage holidays in Judaism (Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot).
Rabbi Jacob Ettlinger from the 19th century raised a thought-provoking query in his halakhic work regarding the growth orientation of Sukkot items such as the etrog when sourced from countries like America or Australia, which could be seen as antipodal to his native Germany.
The mitzvah of the Arba Minim (the Four Species) during Sukkot involves holding the lulav, hadasim, and aravot together in one hand and the etrog separately.
