David BashevkinHOST
It's kosher, even if you don't have it.
David BashevkinHOST
So why even insist on it in the first place? So the Talmud answers, Umitzvah, the reason why it's Better, though not necessary, to have this binding is Mishum, because there is a principle that applies to all mitzvot, not just Lulav, and that is Ze'eli Va'anvehu.
David BashevkinHOST
The Talmud quotes three words from a verse in the Torah, and this appears in the book of Exodus, in the 15th chapter, what is known as Parshas Bethlehem.
David BashevkinHOST
And this is right after the Jewish people are crossing over the split sea.
Ephraim SchreibmanHOST
We talk about the two front teeth, the two matching front teeth.
Ephraim SchreibmanHOST
Like we have the Lushen where by the Lulav, right? The double.
Ephraim SchreibmanHOST
It's like the double tooth here, the double leaf.
Ephraim SchreibmanHOST
So you don't check that on the inside.
Hershel SchachterHOST
That says in the Mishnah, Not to read the Megillah.
Hershel SchachterHOST
So the Rishonim ask a question, why did the Gemara only say, or carry the Lulav, or carry the Shofar, the Megillah to someone else's home to learn how to read the Megillah? So Rashi gives a strange answer.
Hershel SchachterHOST
Rashi says, that if I pick up the Megillah, if I pick up the Shofar, thinking that I'm going to know how to blow Shofar, I'll know how to read the Megillah.
Hershel SchachterHOST
And then I start doing it, and I say, oh no, then I'm going to take it out of the Rishu Sayochit, and carry it to the other place, into the Rishu Seratim, and go further.
David BashevkinHOST
The Sukkah is, so to speak, this divine hug that we have.
David BashevkinHOST
And really at the heart of Sukkah, before you even get into the details of how you make a Sukkah, before you get into the details of what the Lulav and the Esro with the Hadassim and the Aravos are really all about, you have to really understand what role this holiday plays in the calendar of Jewish history.
David BashevkinHOST
And I want to really highlight something very, very important, which many commentators point out.
David BashevkinHOST
Sukkot, the Torah tells us, is on the 15th of Tishrei.
Jeremy GolkerHOST
Okay, but if other people want to do Milah, there's no prohibition on that, and that is true generally for a non-Jewish person who wants to observe mitzvahs.
Jeremy GolkerHOST
The Rambam says, in Malachim Yud Yud, Ben Noach Shalot, if he wants to, I don't know, shake Luluv, We don't prevent him.
Jeremy GolkerHOST
He's welcome to do so.
Jeremy GolkerHOST
And therefore, if a non-Jewish person wishes to put on tzitzis, he's not obligated.
Baruch SimonHOST
And
speaker_0UNKNOWN
Lulav?
Baruch SimonHOST
So what did they do with Lulav? Lulav was the pshad that they had to go out and search for Lulav? They didn't have a Lulav store to go to back then.
Baruch SimonHOST
And in Misnama Sukkos also, they had to find wood.
Baruch SimonHOST
They had to go in the forest and find wood.

Baruch SimonHOST
in the Mishnah, Michal.
Baruch SimonHOST
It's not mentioned in the Mishnah.
Baruch SimonHOST
So, so, so Tosa says, because people are too busy on Erev Sukkot, with their Sukkah and their Lulav, and then they don't have time to shech on Erev Sukkot.
Eliyahu Ben-ChaimHOST
One of these masks.
Eliyahu Ben-ChaimHOST
He brings the black robe to the Rambam, on the Lulav

halachot, and he lives there on the Bechira halachot, and also on the Halachot of the Mishnah Yotzi.
speaker_4UNKNOWN
That's how
HoolGUEST
And it's the Macau for this, the Rabbeinu Bachir.
HoolGUEST
There's a famous scholar that some pregnant women bite off the pit of the Esragan on a Shana Rabbah after everyone has taken Lulav, obviously.
HoolGUEST
And then he writes before, at the same time, you give Tzedakah to the poor and you say specific tefillah.
HoolGUEST
There is a clear idea behind this as well, and it comes out in the tefillah.
Elimelech KohnHOST
It's not like, you know, I wish I could have done the mitzvah.
Elimelech KohnHOST
Does anybody feel bad, and should anybody feel bad, that he can't fulfill the mitzvah of Lulav and Esar today? Lulav and Esrek is not a mitzvah that you have to do today.
Elimelech KohnHOST
So there's no reason to feel bad that you can't fulfill Lulav and Esrek on a day that there's no obligation for Lulav and Esrek.
Elimelech KohnHOST
If there are no potential for guests, because no one's walking around, so why feel bad? Va'otif mei anus, it's not like an ayin is a person who couldn't fulfill a mitzvah that he normally should have done, where the mitzvah is in existence, but it's not his fault, he couldn't fulfill it, at least he could still feel bad, ayin, a lost opportunity.
Elimelech KohnHOST
But over here there's no khiv whatsoever, there's no obligation whatsoever, why feel bad? It would be the equivalent of a person during the week feeling bad that he can't fulfill Shabbos.
YirmiHOST
Throw it out.
YirmiHOST
Talos, Tvilin, Lulav, Shabbos, Learning Torah, all the good ones.
YirmiHOST
All of our favorite ones.
YirmiHOST
You cannot do it fully, which also means you won't get as much, and I'm going to say it like this, you won't get the gishmak even, out of the mitzvah, unless you have worked on the chavos avavos.
