It didn't take me long to decide to take her to the produce department at our local grocery store to see what she will choose as her very own Lulav and Etrog. I was actually very impressed that she picked up a lemon right away and said "Here is the Etrog, now I need a Lulav...". She look around and tried a couple of different vegetables to be her Lulav. First she picked up a bunch of scallions but it was too flimsy. Then she picked up some celery but it was too tall and straight. Her last choice was a Leek! It was perfect, not too stiff and not too flimsy! She said "Hey mommy, I found my perfect Lulav! I am all set for Sukkot!"
It really was perfect and ever since then I have been buying her a Leek and a Lemon for Sukkot, for her to have her very own Lulav and Etrog set!
Chag Samech!
*Note: An Etrog is actually not a lemon but rather a Citron, although they can look alike. The Lulav is a Palm Tree branch.
Sukkot is Jewish Holiday that begins at sun-down on Sunday September 30 and ends a week later on October 9th. Throughout that time posts will be sporadic being that my family and I will be celebrating the Holiday!
