Sukkot2

DEAR FESTIVE CELEBRATORS OF THE MOST HIGH GOD--

This year SUKKOT, the "FEAST OF TABERNACLES", begins at sundown,
September 29, 2004, for traditional and Messianic Jews. Many Christians also
celebrate Sukkot--Sukkot is the basis for the American Thanksgiving.

Here's the handy-dandy website list in case you missed it before.

VI. HOW TO BLESS AND WAVE THE LULAV/ETROG--the lulav/etrog are blessed
and waved every day of Sukkot, waved in procession around the
synagogue, and also waved during the recitation of Hallel, usually Psalm 118. It
is taken in procession on Hoshana Rabbah, the last day of Sukkot, at
which seven circuits are made around the synagogue. This is lots of FUN
and everyone enjoys waving their praise! The lulav/etrog is waved in six
directions--east, west, north, south, up, down--to show that God is
everywhere and His presence fills the universe. Here are the websites that
discuss this, from the very simple to the super-complex, esoteric
interpretations of Talmudic scholars:
