Our lulav and etrogs arrived today from Israel! We talked about how they came on an airplane. The etrog was packaged in a soft little bed for the long journey. We unpacked all the parts, put them together and our lulav and etrog were ready to shake.
Max demonstrates how to do it. Hold your lulav and etrog (watch out, they are heavy!) and stand facing east. Then you have to remember all six directions, shaking it 3 times in each one:
- In front
- To the right
- Behind
- To the left
- Up above towards the sky
- Down towards the ground
Shaking the lulav is a mitzvah, a commandment, of Sukkot that all of the children at TBSCC will have a chance to complete this week and next. If you want to have a go, stop by and borrow our lulav for a shake of your own. Your child will show you what to do.
