Take the Four Species during the seven days of Sukkot.
This mitzvah commands us to take the Four Species — the lulav (palm branch), etrog (citron), hadasim (myrtle branches), and aravot (willow branches) — during Sukkot. Waving them together symbolizes unity among the Jewish people, as each species represents a different type of Jew, yet all are bound together in serving Hashem. The mitzvah also expresses joy and gratitude for the harvest and divine blessings. Through this practice, we rejoice before Hashem and strengthen our awareness of His presence in our lives.
