Passage 4. No object should stand between the lulav, hadassim, and aravot. true heading THE TAKING OF THE LULAV Passage 1. After the Amidah, before Hallel, the blessing over the lulav should be said. Yet, because this mitzvah is most properly performed in the sukkah, one should say that blessing in the morning, prior to prayer, while still in the sukkah. true Passage 2. While grasping the lulav tied with the hadassim and aravot, keep its spine facing one's face. true Passage 3. The first time in the year that the four species are employed, the blessing שֶׁהֶחֱיָנוּ is uttered with the lulav grasped by the right hand and the etrog by the left hand. Upon completing the blessing, the two are joined. true Passage 4. On remaining days, one takes the lulav in the right hand, and recites the blessing. Thereafter the etrog is taken in the left hand and joined to the lulav. The etrog's top should be held beside the lulav's lower end. true Passage 5. One waves the four species toward six directions, totaling eighteen movements, i.e., thrice back and forth in every direction. Whenever they are drawn back, the lower tips ought to meet the chest at the heart. true Passage 6. In making the forward movement, one should take care that the lulav's uppermost tip does not touch the wall. true Passage 7. The six movements follow this sequence: right (southeast), left (northeast), forward (east), upward, downward, back (twice southwest, and once due west). true Passage 8. During the downward movement, the lulav should not, God forbid, be inverted; rather the hands' motion should be downward and upward. So too, throughout all the movements, keep the lulav erect; solely the hands that hold the four species should be shifted toward the given direction. See illustrations, pages 642-643. true Passage 9. One should always hold the lulav and etrog with both hands. true Passage 10. In the course of Hallel, one should perform four series of movements (as the footnotes indicate, pages 309 and 311)—eighteen movements apiece. true Passage 11. Should one have said the blessing over the lulav in the synagogue after the Amidah, he should perform merely three series of movements during Hallel, skipping that series at the repetition of אָנָּא ה' הוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא. true Passage 12. On Hoshana Rabbah, prior to saying Hallel, one should take off the two uppermost rings from the lulav, retaining those three rings which fasten the lulav together with the hadassim and aravot. true Passage 13. In a Hakhel year, the lulav and the etrog alike are grasped through all of Hallel. true heading HOSHANOT Passage 1. Even on Hoshana Rabbah, a mourner does not circle the bimah. true Passage 2. Even on Hoshana Rabbah, whoever lacks a lulav and etrog does not circle the bimah. true Passage 3. Those phrases that are recited responsively should be uttered as one stands with the feet together, the circuit around the bimah occurring between the recitation of those phrases. true Passage 4. On Hoshana Rabbah, all Torah scrolls are removed from the Ark, and held at the bimah. true heading SHEMINI ATZERET WITH SIMCHAT TORAH heading HAKAFOT Passage 1. The pious keep an ancient custom of conducting Hakafot on Shemini Atzeret's eve even as on Simchat Torah—to bear the Torah scrolls in circuit about the bimah seven times with abundant joy, to chant and dance in their presence, and to go round with them in deep rejoicing. true
