The four species of Sukkot
On Sukkot we miraculously commemorate the four species in which the Land of Israel was blessed. In addition, you can download worksheets for Sukkot from the site with drawings of the four species.
The lulav has a taste and no smell
Myrtle has a smell and no taste
Willow has no taste and no smell
Etrog has a smell and a taste
Lulav = Tamar
Hadas = HADAS
Arava = ARAVA
Etrog = Citrus medica
Over the years, the sages of the Torah have given a variety of interpretations and symbols to the four species. Among them is a parable for the people of Israel for each species, a parable for the organs of the human body – etrog for the heart, lulav for the spine, myrtle for the eyes, willow for the lips.
The wording of the blessing of the four species on Sukkot
“בָרוּךְ אֵתה ה’ אלקינו מָלָךְ הָעוֹלָם אֹשֶׁר קָדְשֵׁנוּ במצויו וצוונו עָל נְטִילַת לולב”,
