אֶּתְ רֹוג לּולָב LULAV AND ETROG: THE FOUR SPECIES What they are and what to do with them INTRODUCTION The commandment regarding the four species (of the lulav and etrog) is found in the Torah. After discussing the week-long Sukkot festival, specific instructions for how to celebrate the holiday are given. Leviticus 23:40 instructs: םּולְקַחְתֶּ לָכֶּם בַּיֹוםהָרִ אׁשֹון פְרִ י עֵץ הָדָרכַפֹּת תְ מָרִ ים וַעֲנַף עֵץ־עָבֹּת וְעַרְ בֵי־נָחַל ּושְ מַחְתֶּ ם לִפְ נֵי ה' אֱֹלהֵיכֶּם ׁשִבְ עַת יָמִ ים “On the first day you shall take the product of hadar trees, branches of palm trees, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before Adonai your God seven days." These are the four species that form the lulav and etrog. The four species are waved in the synagogue as part of the service during the holiday of Sukkot. Traditionally, they are not waved on Shabbat because bringing these items to the synagogue would violate the prohibition against carrying. Some liberal synagogues do wave the lulav and etrog on Shabbat. While it is customary for each individual to have a lulav and etrog, many synagogues leave some sets in the synagogue sukkah for the use of their members. The lulav and etrog may also be waved at home. Below you will find some basic information about the lulav and etrog, reprinted with permission from The Jewish Catalogue: A Do-It-Yourself Kit, edited by Richard Siegel, Michael Strassfeld and Sharon Strassfeld, published by the Jewish Publication Society. HOW THE FOUR PARTS FIT TOGETHER The lulav is a single palm branch and occupies the central position in the grouping.

Beat It! the Ritual Of
Beat It! The Ritual of H avatat A m vot Bradley ShavitArtson O ne of Judaism’s oddest rituals is that of beating the amvot (willow fronds) during the services for Hoshanah Rabbah, the final Hoi ha-Mo’ed day of Sukkot. While there is no explicit commandment in the Torah, the rab bis of the Mishnah and Talmud understand the ritual of the aravah to be d’o- raita} A ritual which was originally distinctive to the Temple, in which the aravot were laid by the sides of the altar and paraded around that altar on each day of Sukkot, its transfer and transformation to the synagogue (in which the aravah is no longer paraded, but beaten) leaves us with a series of unanswered questions: there is an ancient dispute about how it is to be performed (and where). Most perplexing of all, there is no persuasive explanation for why it is contemporary practice to beat the aravot against the floor. As anthropologist and folklorist Theodor Gaster notes: “so different a meaning is now read into it [the ritual of the willow] that its original purport can no longer be recog nized.”2 A similar admission of ignorance, from a more traditionally-religious source, affirms that “this custom of beating the aravah on the ground con tains profound esoteric significance, and only the Great of Israel merit the knowledge of those secrets. The uninitiated should intend merely to abide by the custom of the Prophets and the Sages of all the generations.”3 Why do we beat the willow? 1 See Sukkah 43b.

Lulav on Shabbat
בס"ד Volume 8. Issue 35 Lulav on Shabbat The fourth perek lists the mitzvot performed during sukkot establishing Rosh Chodesh. The Tosfot Yom Tov stresses including the number of days that the mitzvah applies. The that the Gemara was referring to the times of the Beit first of these is the mitzvah of lulav; or more accurately the HaMikdash and that even though those people outside mitzvah of arbaat haminim (four species). According to Israel may have known how to calculate Rosh Chodesh, Torah law, the mitzvah of lulav is to be performed in the since they had to rely on it being fixed in Eretz Yisrael, Beit HaMikdash for the seven days of Sukkot (excluding they were considered as if they did not know. Such an Shimini Atzeret). Outside the Beit Hamikdash the mitzvah explanation however does not help the Bartenura due to to shake lulav was only for the first day. The Mishnah what appears to be an inconsistency between his however teaches that it is possible that the mitzvah would explanation here and his ruling regarding etrog stated apply in the Beit HaMikdash for either six or seven days of above.1 What then is our status nowadays with respect to sukkot depending on the year. If the first day of sukkot was establishing Rosh Chodesh? Shabbat, then the mitzvah was performed for seven days. If however the first day was not Shabbat, meaning that The Tosfot Yom Tov suggest that explanation of the Shabbat was on one of the remaining days of Sukkot, then Rambam should solve our difficulty whose ruling the the mitzvah was performed for six days with it not being Bartenura shares in the above two cases.

Transmission of Collective Memory and Jewish Identity in Post-War Jewish Generations Through War Souvenirs
heritage Article Transmission of Collective Memory and Jewish Identity in Post-War Jewish Generations through War Souvenirs Jakub Bronec C2DH—Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History, University of Luxembourg, Maison des Sciences Humaines 11, Porte des Sciences, L-4366 Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg; [email protected] Received: 14 May 2019; Accepted: 30 June 2019; Published: 2 July 2019 Abstract: The article includes a sample of testimonies and the results of sociological research on the life stories of Jews born in the aftermath of World War II in two countries, Czechoslovakia and Luxembourg. At that time, Czechoslovak Jews were living through the era of de-Stalinization and their narratives offer new insights into this segment of Jewish post-war history that differ from those of Jews living in liberal, democratic European states. The interviews explore how personal documents, photos, letters and souvenirs can help maintain personal memories in Jewish families and show how this varies from one generation to the next. My paper illustrates the importance of these small artifacts for the transmission of Jewish collective memory in post-war Jewish generations. The case study aims to answer the following research questions: What is the relationship between the Jewish post-war generation and its heirlooms? Who is in charge of maintaining Jewish family heirlooms within the family? Are there any intergenerational differences when it comes to keeping and maintaining family history? The study also aims to find out whether the political regime influences how Jewish objects are kept by Jewish families. Keywords: Jewish family heirlooms; Jewish material culture; ritual items 1.

Significant Times and Dates
Significant Times and Dates Festivals The Jewish Calendar Jewish holidays or festivals (yamim tovim) are holidays observed by Jews throughout the Hebrew calendar and include religious, cultural, and national aspects. Some are derived from Biblical mitzvot (commandments), others from rabbinic mandates, while others commemorate Jewish history and the history of the State of Israel. All Jewish holidays begin the evening before the date specified. This is because a Jewish day begins and ends at sunset, rather than at midnight. (It is inferred from the story of creation in Genesis, where it says, “And there was evening, and there was morning, one day”.) Jewish holidays occur on the same dates every year in the Hebrew calendar, but the dates vary in the Gregorian calendar. This is because the Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar (based on the cycles of both the moon and sun), whereas the Gregorian calendar is only a solar calendar. The Jewish calendar is primarily lunar, with each month beginning on the new moon. There are approximately 12.4 lunar months in every solar year, so a 12- month lunar calendar loses about 11 days every year. To prevent the “drifting” of months and holy days, Hillel II, in the fourth century, established a fixed calendar based on mathematical and astronomical calculations. This calendar, still in use today, realigned the lunar calendar with the solar years. Holidays of biblical and rabbinic (Talmudic) origin include Q The Sabbath Q Rosh Chodesh—The New Month Q Rosh Hashanah—The Jewish New Year Q Aseret Yemei Teshuva—Ten

Sukkot Potpourri
Sukkot Potpourri [note: This document was created from a selection of uncited study handouts and academic texts that were freely quoted and organized only for discussion purposes.] Byron Kolitz 30 September 2020; 12 Tishrei 5781 Midrash Tehillim 17, Part 5 - Why is Sukkot so soon after Yom Kippur? (Also referred to as Midrash Shocher Tov; its beginning words are from Proverbs 11:27. The work is known since the 11th century; it covers only Psalms 1-118.) In your right hand there are pleasures (Tehillim 16:11). What is meant by the word pleasures? Rabbi Abin taught, it refers to the myrtle, the palm-branch, and the willow which give pleasure. These are held in the right hand, for according to the rabbis, the festive wreath (lulav) should be held in the right hand, and the citron in the left. What kind of victory is meant in the phrase? As it appears in the Aramaic Bible: ‘the sweetness of the victory of your right hand’. That kind of victory is one in which the victor receives a wreath. For according to the custom of the world, when two charioteers race in the hippodrome, which of them receives a wreath? The victor. On Rosh Hashanah all the people of the world come forth like contestants on parade and pass before G-d; the children of Israel among all the people of the world also pass before Him. Then, the guardian angels of the nations of the world declare: ‘We were victorious, and in the judgment will be found righteous.’ But actually no one knows who was victorious, whether the children of Israel or the nations of the world were victorious.

Yizkor Simchat Torah Sermon 5781 “Tattered Shoes”
Yizkor Simchat Torah Sermon 5781 “Tattered Shoes” By Rabbi Tara Feldman I am sitting here in Jerusalem thinking about shoes. When I pack for Jerusalem, I never bring heels. You see, Yerushala’im is a walking town, a Birkenstock, crocs or grubby sandals kind of a town, a place in which one’s feet undergo a lot of wear and tear. Today, we are completing Sukkot, the first of our shalosh regalim, our three pilgrimage holidays. Shalosh regalim literally means the thre e feet, reminding us that since ancient days, three times a year (on Sukkot, Pesach and Shavuot), pilgrims would make a journey to the holy city. The Hebrew word for holiday, hag, has obvious connections to the arabic word haj, teaching us that our core defining holidays are all about making a sacred journey on our own two feet. On this Yizkor of Simchat Torah, in which we are called to hold both joy and grief, there is another reason that I am thinking about feet and shoes. It is because of a poignant newly arising story from the museum at Auschwitz, where this past July a note was found—a little piece of paper—in a child’s shoe on which was written the name Amos Steinberg. This name defines the shoe’s owner and also all that is left of a boy, born in Prague in 1938 and killed with his mother at Auschwitz. Late last month, the museum at Auschwitz linked this little note found inside that child’s shoe to a suitcase in its collection in storage, a suitcase that belonged to Ludwig Steinberg.
