Myrtle

Those are the species.

The most desirable way of performing them is to bind the Lula, Myrtle, and Willen together, thus making a single unified entity from the three of them.

which is very interesting.

I didn't even realize this, but that you can actually take and shake each of the species separately if you'd like, and you'd still be fulfilling the mitzvah.

But really it's just lifting of it.

But importantly to know, as the Rambam says here, that when we take the, the lift these species, it should be done in a way in which the, the way in which they naturally grow from the ground.

So it's easiest to see with the Hadassah, the Arava, the Myrtle and the Willow branch, right? We take, when we take it, the root side of the branch or where it connects to the tree is, is facing down and the way it grows upwards is pointing up.

But it's also the same with the lulav and the etrog.

I bought confiture au myrtille, and I got it confused with confiture au myrte.

What's the difference?

Myrte is myrtleberry.

Myrtille is blueberry.

Now, when you go to Jobber Underground later tonight to get this form for your church, you can also read our newest author.

Her name is Myrtle Titball.

And she...

She wrote to me.

It was weird because I put out a call for new authors, which we – books, they don't tell you when you start a wrestling website that's as well-funded as ours that the first thing you've got to do is hire an entire writing staff.

We have a staff of writers that are going to be coming right behind Myrtle.

By the way, I sent Myrtle to you.

Did you not know that? Myrtle and I are friends, yeah.

It's possible, as with other festivals, that there was a more nuanced story here which over time was reduced to a few key elements or features and the later writers then formed their narrative from what had survived.

In case you're wondering about the Myrtle twigs they do have an association and this would be with Aphrodite or in this case Venus.

Myrtle was excluded from the house during the event and Plutarch reasoned that this was to cleanse the women of sensual love.

The idea was that Myrtle relating to Aphrodite might prompt the women to have unclean thoughts.

This was a festival of women for women but it needed to be prim and proper.

The exact opposite of prim and proper is what happened at a famous hosting of the Bonadir in 62 BC.
