Traditionally, the loo-'lav is bundled with two other types of branches we will focus on next —myrtle (hadas) and willow (aravah)—and held together with the etrog we covered yesterday. This quartet is known as the "Four Species" ארבעת המינים.

Using the loo-'lav is an immersive experience. You'll shake it in all six directions—north, south, east, west, up, and down—to acknowledge that God is everywhere.

Happy Sukkot!
