Not only is shaking the lulav one of the mitzvot (commandments) of Sukkot, it is tricky to do and lots of fun. The palm branches are quite tall and fairly heavy and with the etrog (the yellow citrus fruit) in the other hand the shaking requires both coordination and concentration. You can see from our faces and bodies how hard we tried.
Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haolam, asher kid'shanu b'mitzvotav v'tzivanu al n'tilat lulav.
Our praise to You, Eternal our God, Sovereign of all, whose mitzvot teaches us holiness and who instructs us to take up the lulav.
Thank you God for letting us shake the lulav.
