Another important Mitzvah of Sukkot is the "Four Species" - the Lulav and Etrog!
We learned that each one represents ( and resembles) a different body part;

Lulav- palm : spine
Etrog- Citrus: heart
Hadas- myrtle: eye
Aravah- willow: mouth

we put them all together and shake them in all directions to show that Hashem is everywhere and that we should use everything Hashem gives us, including everypart of our body for mitzvot and good deeds!







Paper Mache Etrogim!





Lulavim
After the components of our Lulav and Esrog were completed we set up a store where the children purchased their own Lulav and Esrog set. The different parts were priced and the yiladim used monopoly money to purchase their Lulav and Esrog for the correct amount of money!
