Lulav and Etrog miniature
Every day of Sukkot (except Shabbat) we take the arba minim, a.k.a. “Four Kinds.” Sukkot is a seven-day holiday starting on 15 Tishrei and concluding on 21 Tishrei.
What are the four kinds? A palm branch (lulav), two willows (aravot), a minimum of three myrtles (hadassim) and one citron (etrog). The first three kinds are neatly bundled together,byour arba minim vendor can assemble it for you.
Not all sets of arba minim on the market are kosher. Check with your rabbi.
Arba minim is a man’s obligation. For women, it’s optional but encouraged.
Best place for doing this mitzvah is the sukkah, the outdoor holiday booth.

Sukkah decorations
During the seven days of Sukkot, the Sukkah is the hearth of the home. Here, we eat our meals, receive our friends and family, and rejoice in the bounty of the season.
According to tradition, the roof of your Sukkah should be open enough to let the stars shine through. It should also be made of something that once grew. Ideas include bamboo, tree branches, palm fronds, brilliant fall foliage, or cornstalks ...
The decoration in your Sukkah can be fancy or it can be as simple as an upcycled jars painted gold and decorated with strass, beads and anything that you like that shines. Afterward you can use them as lanterns to illuminate your sukkah or as a pot to put flowers into.
